Gurugram employee's NO to 'coffee chat' with boss turns into removal from big project. Corporate harassment or attitude problem?

A Gurugram-based corporate employee has alleged in a Reddit post that refusing an off-hours coffee chat with his manager led to being removed from a key project. The employee described a work environment where late hours, informal personal interactions, and undocumented communication were normalised, making it difficult to set boundaries. After disengaging from these interactions, the employee claims he faced professional sidelining.
