Thanks Candy.
I once worked for a French man who stood there and told me how incompetent American workers were. This was about 10 years ago and at the time I was highly insulted-I didn't say anything, I did my job 'cause I needed the money but I didn't argue with him. I regretted that for some years-until recently...'cause now I agree with him whole heartedly.
It sounds mean but it's true. It's like nobody gives a crap anymore.
