Back from United States or how I learned to copy something else ...
- mixmax 18y agoJust read your post, and I think that your grudge is probably more with the Italian way of doing things than the European way. I'm from Denmark, which of course is at the other end of EU, but here things are very different. Not all that much politics, and you get credit for being smart and getting things done. And meetings are primarily for making decisions. If you ever come to Copenhagen I'll buy you a coffee, there are some pretty decent places here :-)
- ngw 18y agoYes, comparison is just with italians, not Europe. I can't talk for other countries, can merely talk about mine :)
- lsc 18y agojust a guess... but did you only work for small companies in the US and large ones in Italy? 'cause my experience (within the US) has been that large companies are very much like you describe Italian companies, and small companies are much more like the US companies you describe.
- ngw 18y agoThis is a point I should definitely think about. I worked for big companies in Italy, that's true.
