Turnoi, this isn't Owen Bucks but the management sure puts the "bucks" in front of anything. They'd suck up to anyone and enroll them into the "Owen Foreign Language school courses" that've got all kinds of goals..some as big as to go abroad for further studies. There's an American from Seattle, called D[edited], in the big Chongqing office out of which he'll talk to the foreign applicants for jobs. This guy'd do virtually anything to keep his title (whatever it is) and job.

Now, what I meant to say in my previous post was that all fts changing jobs on mainland should cosider their current issues with employers as whatever they are, the problems may not be as troubling as the ones that are expecting them on their future jobs in China. So keep your jobs if they are bareable enough. After having worked on mainland for a while, I made a huge mistake moving from Nanning to Chongqing. I should never have listened to my former manager from Nanning, that had got fired there, and take the job in Chongqing where she became an assistant manager. What I did was that I stepped from a relatively small sh*t in Nanning to a much bigger one in Chongqing. Assuming it was the same parent company was one of my mistakes as well, because Nanning's GAC center was much more professional than the one in Chongqing and fts in Nanning were treated with much more respect than the ones in Chongqing. In Chongqing there're not really any pros if it's foreign or domestic.

Cheers and beers to all fts
