Q: Are you apathetic?

Since it seems to be the norm in China, to not care about anything beside money and to do the minimum to get by at work.

Who cares if I am apathetic or not? I don't. Whatever. Let's compare salaries.

Haha I don't usually play who has the biggest but well I am fairly certain that I earn more than 99.99% of the locals and more than professional expats except maybe CEOs wink

I don't understand why anyone cares about money in China at all. There are no businesses worth patronizing here at all: services are shonky and almost all consumer goods are just cheap tat marketed to nouveau riche farmers with all the grace and finesse of a finger that's just been pulled from an orangutan's arsehole.

Don't we foreigners have different bodies than Chinese?

 

"Not to care about anything other than..."

 

"and to get maximum while working minimum/doing the least."

 

English police has been quite active these days.

Me and my training buddy were discussing this. We noticed how most Chinese basically do the bare minimum or a few notches lower (everything half-assed).

 

I will never be like this because it is basically like living your life half-assed. If you are going to do a job, try to do it well... if someone needs help, try to help them if you can.

 

I know in China, they tell you to mind your own business and not help people... but I will still help and I don't care... NOTHING is going to make me like them. Resilient until the end.

I genuinely think the world's best dunny scrubber is better than the world's worst central banker, put it that way.

 

I know who I'd shout a beer.

If I was apathetic, would I have answered?

royceH:

My guess......probably.  I mean, is it like you've got anything else to do?
