schestowitzThere is one thing that most Westerners might not understand, that in the Far East harmony is very important and the group takes precedence over individuals. For example, Japan is a democracy but the party that has been in power since the US introduced democracy (this time for real!) has lost like only one time and very recently. In China lots of people do not mind censorship, they really believe the State is protecting Chinese'sMar 23 08:43
schestowitzharmony. So for the groups' sake there must be harmony and everyone must avoid conflict, and behaving like everybody is a good way to not be in conflict. And to be legitimate, the most seniors are the ones that decide what is good and what is not, that way there is no conflict.Mar 23 08:43
schestowitzOther thing that comes to my mind is that I do not like so much freedom, there must be a limit. Here in Banana Republic there is so much freedom that people behave freely as douchebags and I hate that. Having been in Japan a few months I think I would not mind living in a nice but somewhat restricted society.Mar 23 08:43

schestowitzI finally checked that, I cannot believe it but the US is exceptional. And by the way, if I lived in the US I would support boycotting Indiana.Mar 28 20:07
schestowitzOne basic principle of negotiation is making the other party feel your pain, if the other is not affected at all then you're very likely on your own. So in this case, with no economic retaliation Indiana people might say "yes, I don't like that law but politicians do not listen to us". When they start feeling the pain they very likely will find a way to make the politicians they elected to listen and act.Mar 28 20:07
schestowitzOr would it be better to act like nothing happened and go to Indiana and risk being discriminated? If gays are not wearing dresses I wonder how Indianans are going to tell.Mar 28 20:07

schestowitzThat's the point, treating employees fairy and kindly, not as resources. Here in Banana Republic is common that if an employee is treated bad by a customer he can refuse to attend that customer, and I have hear people quitting on the spot if being treated outrageously. It's unfortunate that we are following the US way of kissing the customer's ass because everybody is a customer but a worker too.Mar 28 20:12
schestowitzI'm new to the US way to manage companies so when there was a layoff at my company I felt a WTF moment when our manager sent us some documents explaining that change in life might be unpleasant and how to deal with it. How is supposed to make laid off people feel better reading a document like that? And knowing that they were laid off just to beat analysts expectations, not because the company was sinking?Mar 28 20:12

schestowitzThere is one thing that most Westerners might not understand, that in the Far East harmony is very important and the group takes precedence over individuals. For example, Japan is a democracy but the party that has been in power since the US introduced democracy (this time for real!) has lost like only one time and very recently. In China lots of people do not mind censorship, they really believe the State is protecting Chinese'sMar 23 08:42
schestowitzharmony. So for the groups' sake there must be harmony and everyone must avoid conflict, and behaving like everybody is a good way to not be in conflict. And to be legitimate, the most seniors are the ones that decide what is good and what is not, that way there is no conflict.Mar 23 08:42
schestowitzOther thing that comes to my mind is that I do not like so much freedom, there must be a limit. Here in Banana Republic there is so much freedom that people behave freely as douchebags and I hate that.

schestowitzOne basic principle of negotiation is making the other party feel your pain, if the other is not affected at all then you're very likely on your own. So in this case, with no economic retaliation Indiana people might say "yes, I don't like that law but politicians do not listen to us". When they start feeling the pain they very likely will find a way to make the politicians they elected to listen and act.Mar 28 20:07
