Baghdad - Post Report Question and Answers

Morale among expats:

Crashing now due to glide path anxieties, but will probably come up again once that's done. To a point. - Jan 2013


Hard to say...most are a bit stir crazy. It is kind of like a minimum-security prison. (Not that I have ever been to minimum-security prison, I am just projecting.) - Nov 2011


Pretty good for the most part. Everyone works a lot (I do 7 days a week, 16 hour days). Most people seem very type A and motivated. I am not a contractor though, I work at the chancery and can't speak about morale among PAE or WPPS personnel. - Sep 2010


All things considered OK. It gets tiring dealing with constant taskers from Washington that come at the end of the day or that you just completed for someone else. Hope that you have a good office that works well together. - Aug 2008
