I've worked for a few American companies.

They were ok, better than the Brits.


The Septics only get about 14 days hols in the states anyway... and then don't take them all.

And they seem to be under the impression that Wales is part of England.

Which does tend to upset the natives around here.

It is isn't it? I thought it was formally annexed in the 16th Century?

I also found them fat.

My brother has worked with large corporate law firms and internet companies in the USA and these are the differences from what he told me.

They work longer hours.

They takes much less holidays.

Its more cut throat.

They tend to use phrases like 'have a cow' in big corporate meetings.

They expect employers to have left all their going out on the piss days behind them by the time they start in the working world. i.e joking about having a hang over at work will be looked down upon rather than laughed about by bosses/co workers.

They are quite easy to underestimate.

It's England and Wales.... it's still a separate country... ruled by our very own, er...., you know what.

lizard monster?

An American I spoke to at the hotel bar in Eindhoven a few weeks ago told me something which made me laugh..

The Dutch take such long holidays over the summer (4 weeks off is not uncommon) that their American co-workers, who only get 10 days holiday a year, are paid less and have much less employment rights have to be flown over to cover for them
