Ungodly hours. Unreasonable deadlines. Irresponsible colleagues. Ungodly hours, again - though this may not apply to the public sector; here it's more about working bare minimum hours, and this is pretty gross in itself.
To my mind, what's really evil in the workplace is racism. And a sure sense of supremacist standing. And all this, while you're an expatriate. Working in a foreign land, but with prejudices and a jaundiced view of the local people.
These racists literally stink.
And most of them are people who've done things the same way all their lives. The consummate conservative. Ultra-nationalists. Bordering on fascists. Otherwise dumb.
When one is not open-minded, one is open to the fallacy of certainty.
And one is certain to always be wrong.
I don't know if any of you have had to work with a stinking racist expatriate, but trust me on this one.
If the guy is so aggressive and abrasive about getting his way around, then just look at one thing. Look at the final work, the end result of all that insult and disrespect.
It'll always be mediocre and substandard.
You can't expect anything else. Certainly not from people who would die for process and procedures (no matter how outdated, dimwitted or inapplicable), and not for inspiration and the accident of new ideas.
These guys are afraid of new things.
They'd much rather win with a whimper, than fail (from time to time) but with great sensation. And, so sorry, they mostly wear ties, again.
They're not worth another minute of your cooperation.
