  • Depends a bit on context, but let's assume you're meeting someone new that's being introduced to friend group (friend of friend).

    • US: mainly handshake, rarely 1 cheek kiss
    • UK: mainly handshake, rarely 1 cheek kiss
    • Argentina: 1 cheek kiss (men & women), sometimes handshake only for men
    • Spain: 2 cheek kiss for women, handshake for men
    • Switzerland: 3 cheek kiss for women, handshake for men
  • Where I live, they will often have a label on the pack that says whether it can be "divided" or not. I agree though that it's a grey area until you see packs that have already been opened. For example, I wouldn't take just one yoghurt, and I would never open up a pack that had glass bottles, so it seems unique to plastic and cans.

  • When I was studying for PMP, I remember there was even a term for this. Because you're good at one thing, it was expected that you would be good at something else as well, not taking into consideration that managing people is completely different from the domain they were an expert on. Of course, sometimes it helps to have some previous domain knowledge to be able to lead a specific team, but that doesn't mean it's automatic.

    What companies really need to realise is that there should be different promotion tracks, and some of them are individualistic, i.e. being promoted as an expert in their field, rather than being promoted to have to manage people.

  • I think the problem is that most often the buck doesn't stop with them. They always find a way to find a scapegoat instead. If they were 100% liable for anything wrong the company does, we'd be on the right path. But it's always a "rogue employee".
