Aspiring Thai flight attendants, too old, short, brown or fat? Come to America instead!
Twenty years back I was invited to conduct one full day lecture every week end for a year re the impact of leadership behaviors on motivation and performance. This was at a Thai university which conducted a one year week-end program 'Executive MBA - Motivation and Leadership'. Total of about 25 students, most between 30 and 45 years old, 50/50 Thai and foreign* students (*some were foreigners who had been working in Thailand longer-term and some were exchange students, signed up to attend this specific program.) One guy (American) arrived 1 hour late, quickly walked over to me, interrupted as I explaining an important point. I asked him to sit down, he didn't and he requested that I start the lecture again. Several other students (Thai and foreign) instantly told him to sit down and be quiet, they also apologized to me and asked that I continue. At the coffee break the American approached me and tried to insist I repeat the first hour again in the lunch break. I refused. I asked him what work / activity he was doing in Thailand. His response 'teaching English to hilltribe people'. Another foreign student was listening and said 'yes, so they can read the bible and so he can threaten them with punishment from god if they disobeyed (disobey the American). I had been using a set of PowerPoint slides which are the intellectual property / copyright of my own company, all coming from respected long-term global research. The students had been given paper handouts which gave a very big picture of the salient points but no graphics or further explanations, all because of copyright. Before the lecture started the handout content and the strict copyright of the original PowerPoint slides was well explained and I told the students they needed to add their own further notes as I spoke. AT the lunch break, as soon as I stopped the lecture a Thai student quickly said to me (as he was pointing) the American is doing something with your notebook. I stepped quickly to my notebook and discovered he had inserted a thumb drive. I asked 'what are you doing?' 'I want a copy of your PowerPoint file.' I responded 'I told you earlier / very clearly they have full copyright.' He continued 'but I'm sure god will allow you to give me a copy'. He then asked me to sit down and asked me to hold my hands in a prayer position. He said "I will now pray to god to give you permission to give me a copy of the file". I puller the thumb drive out of my notebook and asked a student to open the thumb drive and see if my file / part of my copyrighted work had been downloaded to the thumb drive. About 20% of the file had been downloaded. I then asked the student to remove my content from the thumb drive. Mr. America was not perturbed, but commented 'You are disrespecting gods' desires'. Mr. America didn't attend the fifth and fourth lesson. Then I got a phone call from the dean "your student is in the lock up, waiting for a judge to sentence him". I asked 'do you know what he had done?" Dean responded "yes, it seems for at least 2 years he has been take young hill tribe boys (13 to 17 years old) to his house to work for him 2 or 3 days each week. Much more recently he asked a 17 year old boy to come to his house, the boy came but discovered that all the other boys (apparently about 10 in total) very all nude and Mr. America was fondling their front parts and their rear parts. The boy fled and went home and told his parents. The boys father is a senior regional cop. In fact that family not hill tribe people. The father quickly questioned several other boys, they all confirmed Mr. America's activities. Mr. America was instantly arrested and was awaiting a court hearing. Later we learned that he had been fined 50,000Baht and deported and banned form ever entering Thailand again. -
