My GF was having a very difficult moment financially early this year. We reached out to our foreign friends asking for help, because we know they're better connected, some work in companies where her experience is valued, etc. I mean, it wasn't like a moonshot, we tried to make sense.
Completely cold shoulder. This is people we've know for about 2 years at least. She got the job because of a spanish friend told some other spanish friend that has a company in hospitality. Another Italian friend tried to help too, and the portuguese ones, well, they're barely surviving so...
I mean, there's a clear line I can draw here. I don't want to point fingers and that's our personal experience, but I mean, it isn't the only imput that lead us to feel like we're just entertaining.
But then I have to be their friend, and play local, or I'm rude.
IDK man.
