British secretaries say U S bosses are more lenient
Hilary Birley and Cecily Thompson, 22, after 15 months in America, say American bosses are more lenient than British. They worked 40 jobs across the country, earning about coherent $2,200 each, and traveled roughly 9,000 miles. The pair found Americans friendly, noted longer coffee breaks, and described humorous tea misconceptions. They miss sharp cheese and year-round English greenness. They recommend more American working girls try Britain for similar experience.
