Nope, my brother is a VP of a Japanese owned company
(a large one), and they even had work furloughs when
the econonmy there took its dump.  They also look
down, way down, on Americans within the company, even
though the US managed sector of their business has out
done their domestic portion 3 yrs running.  He's
looking to get out.
