Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the “biggest, baddest Truck on the road” for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by “you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle” makes me go up the wall.
I think it depends on what they’re gonna do long term. An expat goes back to their home country after a stint lasting a couple years. An immigrant moves to the new country permanently, not just working for a short while.
I worked with expats at an old job, and had coworkers go abroad on expat assignments. It really isn’t that different in reality, especially as plans change. One of the expats ended up liking their expat assignments more than their actual job, and quit when they tried to put him back in the old position. Another one was so highly embedded within our work group that I was surprised to learn he hadn’t fully immigrated over.
