I have seen the exact same behavior here Canada with companies that are led by Indians. They treat it like a sweatshop. and this was an office.

I've been subject to the same treatment by a white person in Canada. Three out of my 5 colleagues were from India because apparently they were the only ones that could take it. They didn't fire me they made my life hell until I quit because of my mental health crisis. They made me sign bad performance reviews, the manager and her assistant shouted and screamed at me and made me work on holidays and kept accusing me of things that are not true until I quit. They did this to other people as well and no one had any grounds to sue them because they knew how to play the game. It's not just Indians that do this in Canada. Some Canadians do it too. This happen in the national capital region no less.

Once the international students go home (hopefully) here in Canada this will not happen anymore, because Canadian's wouldn't stand for it

Any chance you could be anymore racist with your demands? "I blame the Indians" (while working in Canada). "Once the International people leave it will be fixed!" (still, working in Canada).

How about highlighting a specific company who's founded from India and treating employees bad in your neighboring Canadian community that has impacted you? Maybe some news articles or reports of the mishandling and abuse? Or we can just vaguely and anecdotally continue blaming "THEM" and anyone who's International?!

Remember, Anti-work doesn't mean Anti-immigrant.

how is that racist? I don't hate Indians. I said international students.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hating companies you perceive from a certain ethnic community is also racist. Are all "Indian" companies like this or are you making blanket statements against a race? Are all the companies exploiting workers founded from India, or again, are we singling out an ethnic group as antagonists while ignoring the governing body? Can someone be born in India, become a Canadian citizen, operate a company under Canadian law and on their soil, and it's still the "Indians" fault?

You're right about the international student part, that would be Xenophobia added onto racism.

  1. A fear of strangers or foreigners. 2. A strong antipathy or aversion to strangers or foreigners.

But they told me the survey was anonymous!

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 1 points 8 months ago

My partner took an "anonymous" survey at work once.

When the results came out, it categorised the results. Site, m/f/o, role.

Turns out that there was only one female engineer at her site... So everybody knew she was annoyed about some specific things.

Probably just a front for tech support scam call center anyway.
