I see this too, ie openly self centered Indian bosses. However what I don't think you realise is that most everyone in a position of power, Indian or otherwise, have similar motivations to make their own lives better using the people under them. American and European bosses however manipulate you in a way where you actually feel good about it. An Indian boss is usually the most transparent and fir that reason the easiest to manage once you get past your frustration with having to work with him. All in all I now prefer a boss whose manipulations are blatantly apparent to one who can skillfully hide the same.
