Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As stated directly in the text, an expatriate returning home often experiences reverse culture shock. He or she will have gained new skills and knowledge, and the company's attitudes and people will have changed. Expatriates who have become accustomed to high levels of autonomy while abroad often struggle with the more restrictive work context when they return home, as well as experiencing the common frustration of failing to be promoted or having their job expectations fulfilled after repatriation.
