While I was working in Saudi Arabia the Saudis thought I was crazy for working so many hours because I was a manager. Their reasoning was that managers are not supposed to work. They started calling me "majnoon ajnabi", over there it meant "crazy foreigner". They actually made a video of me once (secretively)
when I was angry because we were behind schedule, they thought it was quite amusing and I'm sure they used it for anger management classes LOL. They also took all my and my employees desks and chairs away and one time had my truck towed away just to show me who was in charge. It was great fun. (NOT)
PS: They were also some of the friendliest and generous people I have known.
