If it's something that needs to be done, ask if I would do it, don't ask if I would like to do it.

- scarface74 7y agoIt doesn’t matter. There are “norms” for every company and country. Just like someone would go into a new company and be expected to learn the business rules for the company/industry, the same applies to learning cultural norms for the company/industry/country. There are very few companies that you could hope to get ahead in if you don’t build the relationships and understand the cultural expectations of the company. You can no more go into a company and expect to get ahead without understanding the culture than you could go into a company in the medical industry and not learn about HIPAA.
