I feel that Americans are more “professional”: they can perform a more complete context-switch into the job they have to do and the rules they have to follow. In contrast, a Russian at work is usually the same slacker self as the Russian at home, or sometimes the same unbalanced work-obsessed self.
I would love to hear more about how you see the behavior of Americans, and why you see us as “robots”!
