Indigenous people are great company and are a joy to be around, but it takes the patience of Job to have them get things done. That, of course is offset by the damage done by Anglos fronting, posturing, passive-aggressiveness and sabotaging each other to get ahead of someone else. I currently work with an offshore team in South America and thoroughly enjoy them. However, they won't pass up an opportunity to set things aside and not work on anything. Still, I would rather deal with that than a toxic, backstabbing culture. I hope to specialize in working with South American offshore teams. I look to my own wife as a prime example. It took me five years to teach her to drive and took her eighteen years to learn enough English to pass a citizenship exam. The payoff is that I get to do whatever the hell I want in exchange for enabling her lack of motivation, which is indeed worth it. My entire daily experience is with people of an indigenous background and it's pretty good. I'm just trying to figure out how do get more done when necessary. There is a certain mentality of "don't do anything unless someone tells you to do something".
Different priorities in life and culture.
Who says that your way is better? It's demonstrably not healthier.
Unfortunately, intrusions of other cultures and lifestyles clash and then those people may not be able to...or want to...do the same. The conflict is esp. clear when they see the rewards of work work work but dont choose to put in that effort.
But being 'a slave to the man' or the establishment, working 8 hr days (or more), etc...who says that's 'the right way?' It's generated a HUGE amount of consumerism and stress in man western countries.
History and Etymology for carrot-and-stick
from the traditional alternatives of driving a donkey on by either holding out a carrot or whipping it with a stick
I didn't say it was better. If anything, it's worse. Nonetheless motivating people is a good skill to have. Actually, I get pissed off at my team lead when he yells at them and threatens to fire some of them.
I am going to pay them a visit this month to see if I can learn anything. One potential blocker I see for them is a fear of being called out if they have too thick of an accent during virtual meetings. I told the offshore team that I'm in a position to stick up for them because in the USA, the laws allow you to use the "carrot and stick" to make lawsuit stew.
They had never heard that expression before. I told them it means give a reward (carrot) for behavior they like and hit with a stick for unwanted behavior. From a supervisor, it means to treat employees like a mule.

People that come from a culture with a bad work ethic should be fired and potentially deported we don't need people like that here north of the Border
i know all about scalping, and the history of. It transcends from the cutting off of heads. Some did the scalp thingy, while others did ears. Easier to transport. I believe scalping became prominate because one did not have to kill the victim while skinning their head. While taking both ears was usually lethal in itself.Tom Horn:
I hope you know that scalping was a European tradition learned by American First Nations the hard way. Europeans also cut off hands, ears, and other body parts to be redeemed for bounties. So the first savage scalping people in America were likely European explorers and adventurers going all the way back to the Vikings described in Thorvald Karlsefni's saga (IIRC) c.1020 AD and quite possibly before that.
Cheers.

<Lurch rubs his chin in deep thought> "being a slave to the man". <sigh>
Boy does the above ever have a nice ring to it
Heh, speaking of, how did your '2 dates' go?
It is odd that in Mexico it is understood that the Mexican worker is ****, but once he crosses that border he is the best worker in the world.
Something is off about that.
Problems with penguins?
It's not that odd. This is why Asian kids seem to perform better than American kids in American schools and why Indians often end up as doctors in America. It isn't a coincidence and has nothing to do with race. The average person from a foreign country who also happens to have the means and the drive to come all the way to America seeking a better life is generally an above average example of their culture.
You misunderstood what I posted.
The same people that are bad employees in Mexico go to the US and are magically thought of as the best workers of all time.
You can explain why. I am at a loss.
