Default How are Australian bosses like ?

Hi all,

This may be a stupid question but I guess sometimes asking these sort of question does bring some light to how each country boss behaves...

I am not sure how Australia bosses behaves or what are their work ethics are but I did have one bad example of an Australian counterpart who did misuse the company benefits as well as treating his office like his home...

eg This Aussie manager would like to his legs on the table while chatting on the phone etc..
another example is that he likes to lie down on the office carpet floor next to his desk and take nabs and unfortuantely, the office gals felt uncomfortable about it as they have to walk past his table...

...I dont think his behaviour is typical of an Australian culture but for those of who are working in the Australian office, can you give an insight to they work culture, belief system, expectation (eg slave driver? ) etc,.,,,
