Bad, reckless managers trying to shame employees
Bad, reckless managers trying to shame employees
The US team is trying hard and has a good attitude, despite the bad work and petty antics of the China team.
Toxic culture. Managers and employees from China, where "saving face" is extremely important, are constantly trying to shame and embarrass US engineers. We in the US don't consider an obsession over "losing face" to be anything but primitive, but the China team considers it deadly serious and they thrill in trying to make us lose face with a constant stream of contrived complaints.
Downsize the toxic China team. Your job is not to help them save face.
