My first days at Bell

Well, I will be honest. Right out front. It is different. Way different then one would ever imagine. How different? It is basically all about costs and nothing else. It is a different way of looking at the reduction of the cost. I can see that no one is talking about ROE should be 15%, that we should think about output management and print of both side of the paper. The real reduction comes with the train travel, even that takes 5 hours instead of flying, it is economy and no, there is no any kind of lounge involved. The real reduction comes with a budget when one department doesn't even have resources to go out for a beer when the colleagues. and the worse of all, ones should pay for coffee.Here it is way different then Denmark or I guess any Scandinavian country. But it is nice to see inside out. it is nice to experience a different style boss, even something tells me, he reminds me wy to much about myself. It is interesting to get to know another business, another set of rules, another behavior code, etc. It is tough, I admire. Tougher then I thought. I am hanging in there but a cultural/corporate shock is still there.
