Im a yurofag and a few weeks ago I started working for a US company. the work environment is a bit... different from what Im used to. there seems to be no real procedure, its more like barely contained chaos. my supervisor doesnt give a shit about what I do as lon as I get all my stuff in. my direct boss is a 24/7 stoner who cut my performance review short because he had to "go home to take a bong rip". and another manager is a motormouth who cracks jokes all day and loves to bully one of my coworkers. like when I told him thats bullying behaviour his eyes lit up with glee and he said "I know right? but dont worry this guy loves it"
is this an american thing or have I just stumbled into an "unusual" company?

Is it true that you have to sing the national anthem and pray to Jesus every day before work?

Oh look, a european that has to be told what to do. Whatever next? Perhaps you could make a big organisation to tell you what to do?

I've worked for several multi-national IT service providers with offices in Europe and North America. The NA counter-parts have always been chaotic messes.

that’s not a meme but it’s becoming slowly less true over time as we get softer and more complacent. it’s still common to work 50-60 hour weeks and only take 2 weeks off per year.

It’s called entrepreneurial spirit, op. Your attitude, work output, and team cohesion are all that matter. Be a leader and make side projects that optimize your and your coworkers’ workflows.

They're projecting their own issues onto others it seems like. It sounds like you just stumbled on a group of shitheads.

That's just how it is in America these days [in the workplace]

ah yes, the ritual of deciding where they want to stampede with the rest of the nigger cattle, temporarily freed from the wage cage for 30-60 minutes, where they will spend $15 on HFCS-injected garbage that will add 1" to their gargantuan waistline.
