Are bangalore people actually very sophisticated or they are just faking it?

In my org people have been creating that vibe where they are very sophisticated about their actions, the way they speak etc, they behave like we are working in a US based startup where they are using western lingo and all together a different way to communicate. I have worked in other startups in other cities but didn’t find this type of culture. Is this common or am I missing something?

What are your thoughts?

A simple explanation is that people live in their little bubble. That bubble explodes when the auto/cab driver tells them to go f themselves

Educated elites consume any garbage dumped from America. See the 64 genders? Netflix and Amazon prime are their religion. Their festivals are new movie releases. Cultureless population.

Live. Let live, brother.
The key is to not be bothered by it, if it's not your cup of tea. I survive - by both.
I have a tier 3 city upbringing, but can gel pretty well with my Bangalore friends similar to what you describe here. Simple funda is unless people are being jerks, these nuances make them - them.

+++ I have also grown up from tier three but it just bothers me how people forget their roots, of course i am not doing anything but wanted to share my thoughts and see if there is something i am missing. I agree the day they start fucking is when i should give a dime about it.

You will see this in folks who were raised in B'lore. The reason behind such style of talking/behaving, is the primary and high schools in Bangalore. If you don't believe me , just talk to kids in NPS, Bishop cottons, St Joseph's and the other schools in CBD. Now other schools are copying this. This is how the kids grow up speaking. It's pure peer pressure to look cool. I used to think I was inferior to them in college. But then I realised that these superficial kids are merely wearing a mask all the time. Behind the mask, they are insanely fragile. They carry this attitude to their workplace. But being able to speak that way in a corporate setup can really make a difference.

I think this could be right to a great extent!

I’m from one of the mentioned schools. It has nothing to do with looking cool/having a mask on/ fragile mindset. It’s just the way we are brought up in general in Bangalore schools. It’s kind of natural here. What you feel is your natural style/ way of speech coming from other cities, that’s the natural way of speaking here.

I have observed a pattern(and my friends have this opinion too). Once you cross working proficiency, as the English sophistication grows, skills decrease proportionately. Haven't seen a single exception, at least in my org.

Correct but the exceptions are gem 💎
Sad to the influence on everyone, i am just trying to stay away from this shit :(

Have encountered this. What I have seen is people tend to take the tone which has been set by management and seniors. And then look down on people who talk normally. Ghuma phira ke baat ye hai ki chuttad logon ki kami nahi hai. Amusement samajh ke timepass kar lo.
