Yea, companies in the West actually pay their employee and take decent care of them.
It's a very "lowly" thing to be an employee in the East. People who actually gets paid are the directors. Engineers? Architects? Project Managers? You get to work 80 hours a week for a lowly shameful package to keep your boss Mercede's humming. btw, a hectic schedule in the East is not indicative of your personal success - it's more like "Hey, I'm just a slave." The East didn't win because they invented anything grand. They win because they pay their people cheap and work their employee to the bone. So stop braging about your success in the East and how Indians invented the World and China is the future - you win Cheap! Spare me from all those bragging about paper being invented in China - Internet/nanotech/biotech/shuttle are all invented in the West! Your R&D are more like Repeat&Duplicate than Research and Development.
