Adjustment? More like 'Adjusting his monocle and sipping tea with the Queen' stage, amirite? This guy's got the whole cross-cultural thing down to a tea!

Adjustment, definitely. The manager's got the international experience on lock. Though I'd love to know what kind of wacky British snacks he's been trying. Marmite, maybe?

Culture shock? Nah, that's no way to describe this guy's experience. He's rocking this assignment! I'm betting on Adjustment as the correct answer.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. The Honeymoon stage seems tempting, but I'm going to go with Mastery. The manager's eagerness for future international assignments tells me he's got the cross-cultural thing down pat.

I would say it's more of the Mastery stage, considering the manager's comfort with international assignments.

I think the manager is in the Adjustment stage. He's almost done with the assignment and is finding it exciting and challenging, which sounds like he's adapted well to the new culture.
