First week in Peru

The first week ended quite fast. Our hero however was not concentrated on the job. The next day his wife and child were coming to Peru. He was anxious. Not only had he missed them, but he was nervous about the trip. He was wife would certainly have her hands full travelling with a 10 monthly baby a 17 hour trip. The hotel had put a cradle in the bedroom so that the baby could sleep. Although the room was quite comfortable, it would difficult in the hotel for all three of them. But they had to be patient for the furniture to be delivered. In the meanwhile he tried to contact headquarters in order to settle some issues. No answer! An expatriate in Peru had started working in the local subsidiary and no one from headquarters had shown any concern. Not the Group CFO, not the HR Director, nobody. Not even a good luck phone call. Our hero was beginning to clearly understand the type of company he had joined.
