I have a coworker who is from India, and he's a great guy, but this describes him pretty well:

They seem to take great pleasure in been mindless drones and doing everything by the book, which often results in more work than would have happened if they had engage some in common sense.

It doesn't help that his supervisor is pretty new himself. Sometimes he asks me for advice, or how to do something, and it feels like I'm deprogramming him or something... I think he's slowly getting there, but you can tell that, "yes, that is technically what it says, but this is how we actually do it..." just breaks his brain sometimes lol

I honestly wonder if they have someone that comes through and regularly beats them with the employee handbook or something.

We have a couple offshore guys who are decent most of the time, but every once in a while they will suddenly forget how to do anything that isn't explicitly written down and will try to escalate to on call stupid shit they know how to do. And when that happens, my team starts beating up on them because they know what to do, they're just choosing not to do it.

Happening a lot less now that I've documented most things, but periodically they try to play dumb and we have to do this song and dance again.
