Is thattrue that foreigners get special treatments in their workplaces when it's in Asia?
Hi !
White guy asking.
I've read on some posts or answers on posts related to foreigners in Asia, or when I spoke about the vision Asia has of foreigners generally, that they can be treated differently. Especially when they are white.
Like working less hours, being asked less, being treated differently.
I already know White people sometimes get treated differently when they are in Asia with locals that never seen foreigners, or BECAUSE they are white.
Due a certain colonial mindset.
From what I've seen so far, people going abroad always talk about adaptation to Asian cultures in the countries they move in, but complain about the time spent at work.
They never point out being asked less, but rather that entering in a society with collective mindset on many things force them to adapt and spend more time at work. Exactly like locals.
But is this true in the workplace? What do you think?
