What I do know for sure is that American colleagues don't sit there talking about colleagues in other countries. Somehow you have a "personal anecdote" about colleagues in the Chicago office making remarks about you because you're Canadian.

Yes my personal experience is... well limited to my personal experiences in the office... hence the request for others to submit observations.
But having worked in the HQ's of both the Canadian and American operations you do have an ability (I hope) to make comparisions or observations. Now if it was only myself making statements, or complaints, I would actually attribute the problem to a clash of personalities... but as I have said I have heard other making the same complaints (or observations).
I'm not saying that co-workers sit around all day making little jokes or jabs at others... it's just the little comments in meetings or at social functions; constant requests for advice, that when given goes un-heeded; or the repeated corrections that have to be made in regards to the Canadian market...
Again what I was wondering is have others noticed this at work or not... obviously they would either have to be working (at least sometime) abroad, or working for a large multi-national.
