The only thing that is backwards is your entitled mindset. You already get paid 1.5-2x industry, you pay no taxes, and you’re complaining about working from the place of work mentioned in your contract (firm office / client office)… ❄️

SC1 don’t celebrate for too long, us here in Canada they started talking about RTO mandates and our CEO is saying in emails that its the norm to work from the office not the exception. Its coming back eventually to us as well, just give it a couple years

I’m also annoyed at the limited WFH, but shouldn’t have used the word “backward”

You come across as a Euro-centric entitled boy- they aren’t popular anymore

time with family yet forced to be in five 5 days a week ?? u must be a local

Historical and understandable trust issues fueled by the poor work ethics of a considerable number of locals and specific segments of expats.

In short, cultural problem.

Can it be fixed? Of course. Will it be fixed during the next decade? I doubt
