@skinnylatte Yes! I totally agree. Coming from Scotland even if people disagree there’s always a general consensus that this thing is always done this way. It’s both comforting and stifling at the same time. On the plus side you know exactly how everything works and what you’re meant to do but also if you suggest anything other than that to solve problems you get shut down.
Also it’s so weird getting interviewed for a job over there after living in the US and the interviewer asks where you went to elementary school because they are trying to find people that you both know or have in common.
