India, March 12 -- An employee working in India for a global company has sparked a discussion online after claiming that a promotion being considered for them was blocked by local leadership because of how they are perceived.

In a post on Reddit, the employee said they report directly to leadership in the US rather than to the company's India Country Head. As a result, most of their projects, feedback and day-to-day work interactions are handled by the US team.

The employee said that they later learned that a promotion they were being considered for did not go through because it was blocked at the local leadership level. "I didn't receive a very clear explanation at the time, and things just stayed as they were," the OP wrote.
