| Mar 6, 2020 at 2:45 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | @MawgsaysreinstateMonica I got one comment pointing to me this article sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0749597885900147 "Layoffs, self-esteem, and survivor guilt: Motivational, affective, and attitudinal consequences" That was the answer I was looking for, a real research! | |

| Mar 5, 2020 at 1:23 | comment | added | IMil | @WoJ will you also say that "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" sounds like an invitation to a tea party? :) | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 18:27 | comment | added | Mawg | Lol - what are the French schools teaching? Yup, in English it has very negative connotations (but, who cares what a nation of shopkeepers thinks? ;-) | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 18:18 | comment | added | WoJ | Thanks - TIL that there is the expression encourager les autres in English, which has a negative vibe. In French that would be a strictly positive one - possibly (with the right and obvious context) an ironic one. I saw the origin of the expression, which makes it even more surprising. | |

| Mar 4, 2020 at 6:30 | comment | added | Mawg | Well, it depends whether you are talking about the original question, which omitted a major piece of information, or as it currently stands. In either case, you are free to award the answer to whomever you please. I doubt that any of us are in it for the points - you can't pay the rent with them. And very often an amalgam of two or three answer provide the full answer. Feel free to pick & choose the best pieces of all and post that.I only hope that I helped somewhat. Good luck :-) | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 5:19 | comment | added | Qiulang 邱朗 | I knew your answer would get highest vote but I have to say the answer from Pere, Damon & Mike Robinson are more relevant to my case. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 4:44 | comment | added | Mawg | I worked locally, that being the whole point of it for me - experiencing other cultures (I also spent my free time like a local, not in ex-pat places). All were English language jobs, most were MNCs, but I picked up a few European languages along the way (owning to my native language & very hard accent, I am no good at tonal languages, which predominate in Asia (although not in Japan). To answer your unasked question, yes, you too can work your way around the world with only English - in the office, although not always outside of it. In the future, Mandarin might be a bonus too. | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 20:25 | comment | added | fubar | Not related to the question, but certainly your answer. Were you working remotely in those 15 countries, or did you work for local companies in the native language? | |
