American Business Culture

I remember working for a large American company when they won a huge contract to provide advice to Sydney Water. I can remember all of the types of complaints currently surrounding Sol and his crew, trying to spruick Telstra being arrayed at the Yanquis seconded to give the good word on water management to the locals. Brash, arrogant, insensitive....There really is a huge chasm in business culture between OZ and US. On another matter, my wifes colleague recently told one of their underperforming underlings that they were doing the work of three people. (Larry, Moe and Curly). I am amazed that you can get away with that even in Australia.
