I live in Asia, where Pinkerton Syndrome is rampant amongst the professional workforce.

I've been approached by local recruiters who love tossing the company's country of origin (usually a developed nation from the European continent) in the first sentence of an email, and beseech me to call them back ASAP, or lose the opportunity of a lifetime.

I also get condescending emails from Caucasian 'CEO/Director' (no offence meant, I know the entire demographic is never represented by sub-samples) looking to pay below average rates.

Is getting difficult to be civil with these morons.

    So these companies act like they are doing you a favor by offering you a job? Are they by any chance greek😛? Greek bosses(especially the older ones) like to whine about the bad state of greek economy and think that employees are obligated to work for free to save the company.

    @jsframework9000 Yep, they act that way.

    I've not had any contact from Greek companies; it's the local recruiters (where I live) who do the name-dropping, expecting you to leave everything else.
