Victor Bhatt,

You seem to paint us all with a HUGE brush.

1) I got to be a manager after 12 years of hard work.
2) No secretary.
3) No Office assistant.
3a) I get out of work at 5-6
4) Some responses mostly go to my employees, I'm sometimes on the CC.
5) I'm sometimes wrong, and I accept constructive criticism.
6) I blame no one.
7) I only get promoted when I deserve it.

I copy my own papers, go to the printer to fetch pages and make my own tea/coffee...

I also know where to sign, and never sign anything before reading the whole thing.

p.s. you forgot to include Kuwait, we're the richer countries in the GCC.
