I hope you can look past the offence I have given you, and help me.
I am asking why my experience, and the experience of other business owners I have asked that confirm my experience, is quite bad.
I work in an engineering department, when a problem arises, it is my nature to try to solve it. To solve a problem, one must ask why. I am asking why, so I can gather information, and build a better understanding.
Here in the US, business is run on a method of contracts, parties agree that certain items, moneys or services are to be exchanged. If the exchange does not take place, there are set responses based on what has happened.
It does not seem to be the case in my business dealings with Quebec. Perhaps they operate business as a person, driven with an emotion. I do not know, but wish to know why.
In my asking why, offense not intended was received. Without asking why, an answer cannot be gained, and a frustration must continue.
If some one where to ask about a difficulty with the USA, I would not personally take offense, I would try to share if I could, the reasoning the person or people they have a problem with are operating under.
Cheers.
I used the word dense, but others I have asked about their international business experience used the word dishonest. If a contract is not followed, either the person not following it does not understand the contract, or understands it, but is intentionally trying to violate it. I would love to avoid the problems I have had across many years, and if I understand why, even if I do not agree with the why, I will be able to empathize and work with a culture that thinks differently than I do.
