“Yeah, how horrible. Sand, ocean, beaches, bikinis. What a horrible life.”
Not justifying whatsoever what he did but have you ever worked long hours in such an environment?
Kind of like being in prison with your cell looking over a resort
I actually interviewed for a job with the Virgin Island's WAPA (Water And Power Authority) for a .NET developer's job.
The guy I was interviewing said he had one local candidate and three statesiders, of which I was one.
He said I was the most technically-skilled, but he was hesitant to hire me, because "I would get island-sick".
I assured him I would not, and he laughed. "I've seen it a hundred times. You think you are moving to paradise, but if you are not used to island life, it becomes a prison. Quickly. You would need to budget at least 3 week-long returns to the States a year, or you WILL lose it."
He ended up going with the local candidate. LOL
