Nice writeup. Very sad to see this continue to play out - day in and day out, one company after another. Change the company name to Microsoft, Amazon or Google - things are more or leas the same.
It's a little (or maybe a lot) different, given the added dimension of clashing (international) cultures and the resulting management perceptions.
In some ways, it's the opposite side of the spectrum from those European countries that established their business operations in the USA in the '80s and '90s with far greater benefits and relaxed working schedules than the typical US corporate policies of the era. SAP comes to mind as an example.
