This is a good thread. All of you are making excellent points. This whole expat system should be overhauled. As #iadk puts it "after a maximum of 3 years, bring them back to fill US-based jobs and ship out another batch to gain international experience." Yes, after a maximum of 3 years, the expat employee should be made "MUST MOVE BACK TO HOME BASE." Then make them serve in home country for at least 3 years before letting them seek another expat position. This will help the company and shareholders getting fleeced by a few "professional expats" (as #idjd puts it) and make the system more equitable and functional. This will also help the goal of high potential employees needing development through international experience before going on to bigger and better things.
