I just find American corporate culture to be 90% about participation, not really results, but being there, being a "team player" and being really nice to everyone. Not necessarily bad things, but compared to Australian work culture (for example), America is really about "the teaaarrrmm".
Yeah, I worked with a bunch of people in the US a while ago, and I had the impression that they were playing house or something. I'm all for treating each other with respect, but that means something different to me than the constant. virtue signalling going on there.
US people tend to say that Dutch people are very blunt, but it feels like that should just be normal? If you do a bad job I'm not going to tell you that it was nice you tried so hard.
