M.O.

Here at 'Lonely Estonian', we bring you just what the Baltics ordered: another blog about Estonia (see Blogroll). And when I say "we", I mean "me".

I'll post semi-regularly, delivering everything from the pressing news to the depressingly banal. As long as it has something to do with Estonia.

Even if you don't read any of my posts, you can at least use 'Lonely Estonian' as a hub to access all the better Estonia blogs out there (again, see Blogroll).

Estonian Workforce Gives Stunning Vote-of-No-Confidence to Corrupt Managers

According to a piece in The Baltic Times on Friday, Estonians don't trust their managers. A poll conducted by Enterprise Estonia found that only 15% of the Estonian population believe in "the honesty and ethical nature" of managers.

Oddly enough, the poll also found that managers tend to think more highly of themselves than the rest of the population does.

And a third of those polled found the predominant management style to be "confrontational" and "authoritarian".

Old habits die hard in post-Soviet Europe.
