You implied that your business outlasts your former employer’s? Serve them right! What a shitty company. Losing trust is detrimental in business so their bankruptcy is only natural.

Regarding “lubrication”, many people including my parents believe that the right middle men (“cò” in Vietnamese) can speed up the process. They don’t have any basis to this thinking though. It’s like a secular form of Asian superstition. Regardless, I now have a habit of reading the nameplates of gov employees should “difficulty” arises.

It’s kinda expected that our immigration laws aren’t the best. Vietnam as a developing economy would expect to export our own labours abroad, rarely do we import labours.

Anyway, it’s nice to hear a story that contradicts what I find on /r/Vietnam subreddit. Let’s hope that the government continue to modernize and improve bureaucratic efficiency. And may the God of Wealth bless your business.

Tried working for a foreign company as an employee, got cheated badly, lost most of my assets, didn’t know what to do.

Did they only pay you in “equity” instead of wages?

Also, how was your interaction with the government? Did you have to “lubricate” with your money to make things go faster?

Understandable.

BTW, I’m a bit surprise when I find out you were actually a foreigner migrated to Vietnam, which is a developing country. I was always under the impression that talents usually rather migrate to a more developed economy, not only for higher life quality, but also more advanced technologies. What made you decide to open a tech company in Vietnam instead of anywhere else?

Impressive, but not cost-effective. I would just fetch("random.org") XOR Math.random().

If a communist isn’t hated by the capitalist establishment, he isn’t a real communist. (I do not imply that being hated by the establishment alone qualifies you to be a communist)
