Im also Spanish. I currently work for a large US corporation in NY, for the International branch.
2 ideas:
a) Sintel is not Telefónica-owned, (which itself is not state owned) it was until 1996. It was yet another case of corruption by a then-deceased governement. Every democracy suffers corruption (ask Mr. Clinton where some of the nicest White House missing pieces are...) so I believe its just the price we all pay for our way of government.
b) The workers are demanding answers. We have different ways to respond to those demands. Any comparisons with the "US way" should be analysed in detail...
I believe comparisons are unfortunate. Spain and the US are both great countries. Ive lived in 4 European countries and the US. All have great things and not-so-great things (well, but Switzerland...I do not remember anything nice there...maybe the landscape). I can say, being clearly biased, that even though NY is probably one of the most amazing places on earth, Im eager to get back home when I have completed my experience here.
Id rather live the kind of life I have back in Madrid: Thats I choice Im making because I may, as Ive seen both styles and simply can afford to make that choice.
BTW, some of the participants in this discussion can not (and it shows) compare: They lack knowledge and the real-life experience.
Ah! One last word all of us: Minds, like parachutes, work only when open.
Spain has what they call "The Robinson" list, named after Robinson Crusoe.
If you join the list, they just stop sending you all this useless materiel.
Useful and free.
