That pretty much describes Indian work culture/ethic. Let's say "aggressive" work hours, and you just let your manager claim whatever he wants and agree with it, against everyone. "Yes", "Yes, sir".

And then, yeah, when the time comes that the work needs to be delivered, odds of it actually being done, let's say 50/50 at best.

Does your manager even want to know the truth? Mine does, but that's only the case because I changed managers 4 times before I found one that I can reasonably believe tells the truth to his superiors.

The Indian manager has the power to fire that employee, finding another job is difficult, so from the employee's perspective it's safe to just say yes.
