Sometime if you are nice to Ah Yee she will bring some extra goodies to you or if you request additional coffee in between those time she will gladly bring to you. Of course you must treat her well like occasionally buy her a gift or during Chinese New Year give her a nice red package.

    The dreaded “working day” after the holiday. Such a huge change for me as well. I especially love the shared meals. It’s something I never really had in the US and love it here. I think one of the biggest changes for me was getting paid once a month (in the US it’s every two weeks) and the way taxes work here. It’s quite different.

    I think for the most of the case it is alright to ask questions and/or make suggestions in a professional way to the boss, but Chinese people probably would avoid to tell their boss that they are wrong directly in front of the other teammates. However, it might be various for the boss’s personality and company culture.

I have been to UK during the early seventies. I stayed there for about 5 years. I love the British people, especially the working people. Now it is like a dream which I have woken up and have to face the harsh reality of life as an old man back in Malaysia. Keep up your spirit wherever you are and I pray that you will be joyful and peaceful in your heart all the time.

    Based on Chinese culture, people will find a good time to talk with their supervisor about their opinions. If they have questions, they prefer to discuss this issue with boss before or after meeting. They are not used to challenge their boss in front of all collages to prove themselves. Just like Chinese people won’t point others mistakes directly. That they show their respect for each other.

    • @Nicofilms
      @Nicofilms  3 роки тому +1

      I think it really depends on the company. I don't often do overtime it just depends if there is a deadline that needs to be met. We both get public holidays and I get 10 days holiday plus a 'contract break' and Jack used to get 20 days. If you are a teacher you usually get a lot more but it isn't flexible. We certainly have a lot more disposable income here so we can do more which is a great experience.

    I remember I hated the make-up day (before or after holiday) when I was a student....Ahhh...
    After-lunch nap makes sense, since it is difficult to concentrate on work with your stomach concentrated on digesting...But I think it also depends on the lunch. In China most people choose to eat a proper lunch, while in many western countries people are more inclined to have a light lunch, such as a sandwich or a salad, which is surely more light-weighed with the stomach.
    Another contributing factor to the nap is the weather, especially in summer --- It can get so hot such that one cannot really do more of proper work or thinking, especially on those old days without AC. I do remember many mediterranean countries have a long lunch break for the same reason.

    How do you find work-life balance in China? I worked in a training school in Shanghai. I worked long hours and barely got a day off during school holidays. I suppose it depends on the industry and what job you do.

    • @Nicofilms
      @Nicofilms  3 роки тому +1

      I didn't mind training centre hours but I definitely prefer it now I work Mon-Fri. Having the weekend on the weekend definitely helps and I can take time off whenever. I don't get as many holidays as a school does though so I am jealous in the summer when my friends which work for kindergartens are all off.

      Check Korean and Japanese. They are even more. Sometimes they even look down women. 15 years ago, I worked as a assistant manager in the purchasing department in a Singapore company in Southern China. One of business partners was a Japanese middle age man. During my first meeting, whehever I started to talk, he always looked away with a look of ... slightly"contempt". I thought I was wrong. Later on my Singapore manager appoligized me for putting me in that situation. He said that Japanese guy always did not like women, in work place. Obviously he wants women go home.
