I hope you're not a collegue and handling some big machinery, as naive as you present yourself! It would scare me .....
If you really believe what you're saying, you would also believe that the same despots of all your mentioned nationalities would set up the same rules if they were in charge in a first world company in their home country, wouldn't you.
However not one of those psychophants would survive one day within a civilised environement. Owners, regulators and especially unions would have them skinned alive instantly.
Therefore it is the owners around here (locals) and the regulator around here (locals), that tacitly agree with local culture rules and let the sickos play their power display in beautiful consent. Unions are very handily not allowed around here (law set up by locals).
