American work ethics vs. Filipino work ethics
Filed under corporate shit, culture
I slept late last night to hear out an American colleague’s frustrations about the American workplace. I work closely with Americans everyday, so I knew what he was talking about.
American work ethics is not ideal, as what most Filipinos perceive it to be. Whenever I tell people where I work, they would say I am very lucky, and then assume that I have money more than I can spend. Which annoys me, because first, I am just another wage slave, and second, they don’t know what they are talking about.
I’ve had frustrations at work, and I am not talking about discrimination here, no. I can honestly tell the world that I have been treated as an equal, that my opinions were valued, and that my abilities were recognized even though I am Filipino.
