Jeez it's just a job. If you are a complete aerosexual who spends all his working life obsessing over ops manuals, comparing standards in your new job to your old job, and spends his days off hanging out with pilots drinking with pilots bitching about pilot stuff, then these kind of third world contract jobs will drive you up the wall very quick.

If you recognize it for what it is, aim to be the best and safest captain you can be in your own aircraft and don't care about what "they" do, make a conscious effort to NOT bring work home with you, don't touch management or instructing jobs with a 40 foot pole, cultivate a circle of non-pilot friends, enjoy the benefits of expat life in your new country, while also getting back to your home country as often as possible, you'll stay grounded.

It won't change you "down to the core" unless you let it.
