Moy, firstly I'm really glad you're settling in to your UK employment.
Always do your best to seek out the positives in your work and focus on making the small things interesting.
Now turning to your post....
You have discovered something that is quite alien to your own culture IMHO
But which is quite prevalent in the UK workplace in these days.
My wife also still comments on the attitudes of British women.
I could easily predict the comments you would find here.
Now as I type this I feel a rant coming on...
Many British women are highly feminist orientated, materialistic, self-centered and often do not know how to take care of their husband.
Of course that's a hugely broad brush in which to paint a picture but look, this is my rant. I've earned it and I believe I deserve it.
These days they don’t know how to cook good food. One reason why so many are fat.
The only thing many British women know how to cook is healthy burgers and sausages and highly processed and chemicalised convenience food.
Now, my Filipina wife has a fair attitude, she is highly family oriented and friendly. She treats me with respect and human dignity, and also knows very well how to take care of us both
Let me say I also do the same for her. Respect is not a one way street.
Whah! gotta stop this sterotypical rant now.
Moy, keep your family values.
Keep your GMRC and self respect. Be friendly and polite always and enjoy the expansion of your horizons.
But don't ever be afraid to share your values. Your Filipino values are what set you apart from others.
