As a contract engineer in Silicon Valley I could tell you so many stories. The Indians truly are a cancer. There are so many sociopathic lying bastard Indian mid-execs, so many incompetent low-level toady grunt programmers.
I did a contract at Cisco where an Indian manager instructed me to lie about obsolete equipment they wanted to sell to unsuspecting suckers. He gave me a set of fake specifications. I could see I was being set up to be a fall guy, and I quit.
Another company had an Indian marketing VP who was completely incompetent. He hired an Indian as product manager to prop him up. PM claimed a Stanford MBA. Hah. The PM was a lying sociopath who brought the company down by lying to Motorola, got found out, Motorola canceled a big contract, this ruined finances and the company went under. The PM circulated through several other companies and got fired at all of them, then went back to India to sell real estate scams. No one in tech would hire him.
One of a kind incidents you say? Okay, here's another. I contracted at a memory chip giant here. They bought an SSD technology startup that was all Indian. I was brought in to the new division and immediately found the Indian VP in charge oddly would not give me proper specs for their new product. In fact all the designers stonewalled me too. After awhile I found they'd stolen the design from another company and were unable to make it work due to a need for firmware secret sauce. Their people were incompetent at developing firmware. I spilled the beans to high management. The Indian VP came and physically threatened me and marched me out of the building. Six months later I read that the parent company had fired the entire division staff and closed the division.
These three are only a handful of what I've been stuck in; Silicon Valley truly has Indian cancer all over. 95% of tech Indians here seem to be shitscum. Google is infested with them which is one reason so many of their projects end up shitcanned.
It IS like slavery. At a contract I did with Align Technolog ythere were lots of Indians there replacing the IT and software guys. I worked with four young Indians who all shared a one bedroom apartment and took the bus to work daily. They were paid slave wages by American standards. During rainy season I took pity on them and bought them all umbrellas, since they had no quick way to go shopping for them.
On career, I think the recession is barreling into a semi-depression and work will get even tougher to get. So belt-tighten and save as much as one can. Also know there will be cuts in social security starting in 2030.
If you want a serious downer, go look at website fiverr, a labor exchange (heavily foreign workers). I saw people there asking $5 an hour to do AI engineering. Rates on a lot of other things are at third world levels.
He was a turbaned Sikh, and well muscled, half my age, and all Sikhs carry knives as part of their religion. You can look that up. It was 6 PM, the offices were empty, and If there had been a fight he could have easily won, plus it would have been my word against his as an exec, and he was a liar anyway. The cops would believe him, I would have been banned in the industry. No-win situation. I saw my revenge when the corporation later fired him and his staff once they saw his lies.
