Different Culture Maybe?

See, i've got 3 chinese engineer colleagues from China. We've got communication problem. The reason so is because they don't speak proper English & i don't speak proper Mandarin. But language barrier is never too great an obstacle that i couldn't overcome.

See, i've got 3 chinese engineer colleagues from China. We've got communication problem. The reason so is because they have different working attitude than us. They have this mindset that they should be treated specially because they are here from overseas. But attitude barrier is never too great an obstacle to overcome as we don't work together on the same project.

See, i've got 3 chinese engineer colleagues from China. We've got communication problem.The reason so is because we think they are just lazy. i know it because we've openly discussed this among ourselves and we've concluded that at least one of them is lazy, another one is stubborn & the last one not too bright.

Well at least the not-too-bright one is still willing to lend a hand when us locals move our butts around trying to get things done.

And at least the stubborn one is smart enough to listen & think about something after we explained to him how things work around here.

It's just this one guy, who is obviously lazy, not too bright & damn stubborn, all 3-in-1 packaged into the same person. When you ask him to do something, you have to ask him 3 times before he will move his heavy butt off the chair & do the thing you asked. Furthermore, he will give a long lecture about why this thing that he is doing should be done in another way. When he finally get to do what he was suppose to do, he will take 3 times the period you yourself will need to get it done and get back to the office to report to you.

Arrghh......~!!

Are all Chinese people really like this? If so then i am seriously ashamed of myself as a Chinese heritage.

Of course i hope not all of them are like that. Sometimes, there will be one so special that makes the rest of the few billions of people looks bad.

Just like a band. If one person sounds bad, the whole band sounds bad.

I just hope we can get along well now since we're all inside the same office now, and will be so until they go back China, or i'm leaving the company.

And oh, my Indian colleague from India is coming in next month. Talk about multi-national company.


Wish me luck.
