Hi all, I am an Asian working in Germany. Although this topic is a bit generalizing, it would be great to get your perspective.
In Germany, there were several times that people didn't respond to my email (stretching across different parties such as a partner at my company, the landlord, and the relocation agency). Although most were not critical and urgent situations, I am hypothesizing that there is a tendency that Germans only reply to emails when they feel “there's a need”. On the opposite, in Asia, we tend to reply to emails promptly and be “responsive”, no matter whether it addresses a critical issue or not.
Would be great to know about your observation and experience! Thanks.
