Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/Memes@lemmy.world - General memes

While not exactly true, foreigners are given much more allowance to mistakenly break social expectations. However, the more fluent in their social hierarchy you become, the more you're expected to abide.
But no, that doesn't mean you get to be the "~~dude~~" "rude" pitch hitter if office politics. It means you don't need to take your boss out drinking, leave earlier, etc.
If course, that's at the trade off of a stagnantcareer without much hope for long term growth.
China does have the phenomenon where they hire white people to wear suits to work events to make the company look international and important.
Edit - great autocorrect.
