I have only worked for a foreign company, so my view might be one-sided; I think there aren’t any major issues with my work, as they generally aren’t too picky. They’re usually quite stingy when it comes to salaries. My experience tells me that the salary discussed during the job application has a big impact in the future, so you must set a proper price for yourself from the very first time, haha! When there is overtime or an increase in workload, argue with them on solid grounds; don’t feel embarrassed, as they consider this to be something normal. If there’s time to play ball with them or have meals together, that would be fine too. But the prerequisite is to do the work well first; there’s no room for negotiation on that. There’s another group whose habits are similar to ours; when their bosses come for inspections, they too often carry out some formalistic tasks, such as cleaning the area, etc. In short, it’s all done to show off to the bosses.
Work should still come first
Be neither overbearing nor humble; be reasonable and measured. Whether at home or abroad, what leaders look for is your ability. Of course, flattery is also a form of ability, if you possess it
I’ve never communicated with foreigners or worked in a foreign company; it’s just what I’ve heard from others – things like good benefits but high stress, and so on!
First of all, we need to do our own jobs well, and we also need to learn how to conduct ourselves in social situations.
If you make a mistake, admit it openly; don’t promise anything lightly.
Personally, I think it’s great to just do one’s own job well! ! !
Many foreign companies in China have already localized. For example, a friend of mine in France told me that when he went to China, he found that people working for French companies there also worked extremely long hours... In France, generally speaking, people arrive and leave work on time, and once work is over it’s time for personal activities. If you sign a lifetime contract, you basically don’t have to consider what the boss thinks. However, most people remain highly efficient at work and show great discipline; they generally don’t do many things that are unrelated to their tasks at the office
What matters most is ability! Next is a humorous personality, personal opinion :)
