Every two years or so my software job will bring in a director from overseas and I have to go find another job. This has happened four times in 8 years.

- sloaken 6y agoOMG that would suck. From my experience, when they come from outside, not just overseas, they have an arrogant attitude that the locals 'just do not understand, if they did it my way...'. Is it the industry you are in? Or is it because of the country you are in, that causes this. 4 times seems awful high.
- one2know 6y agoI would say culturally these directors have been more on the same wavelength with the VP's and SVP's of the companies. That is I think it is more likely to pay a bribe or do a shady deal for a job in many countries. I'm not saying Americans don't do that, its just there are fewer willing. Plus, the companies want to hire an outsider usually, not someone with political allies all over town. Third every company is in some stage of "replace all Americans with H1B's" and these directors are like brokers for H1B's. H1B's don't want an American manager either. Foreign managers don't want American employees because they have a lot more power in the workplace.
