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".
