And they call HK an International city. I just started my new job and I was shocked when it became clear to me that the level of english in MNC is so low!
I was trying to understand how come some people who are definitely NOT competent for the job were hired in the first place and I was shocked again to learn that corruption in hiring is a normal practice in HK. It's like the Mafia here. People are hired because of some family links or "special" connexions.
One day I asked a manager why nobody was speaking good english in his division even though they had to deal daily with foreign customers. He answered "we all speak good english, what are you talking about"... I was shocked!!!! They can't even figure out that their english suck!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable! HK is definitely NOT an international city, but just some Chinese city trying to look good in the face of the world.
Do you share the same thoughts?
