I can easily imagine the situation you describe...none of these idiots know anything about "team work", although they are indoctrinated with this "Thai unity" crap.
On the other hand, western "team work" is all about lip service & how to benefit the company 5000% at the cost of your lifestyle. I.e. all work, no play.
Today I had my suspicions confirmed...the "waffle" that goes on before any classes is about Thai culture etc. Sadly, it will take the death of a generation before this nationalistic, xenophobic & narrow minded crap is done away with.
