I came to this nation 20 years ago, and everywhere I go—whether it’s a shopping area, a park, School, an office, or a hospital—I have always witnessed the kindness, warm smiles, and compassion of the American people. However, I now worry about whether my children will receive that same love in the future because of the actions of some of our fellow Indians. In my own workplace, I have seen instances where Indian professionals undermine their American colleagues, making them feel inadequate or even pushed out of their jobs. Through overbearing behavior in meetings, manipulation, and even falsified experience, I fear these actions will negatively impact how this community is perceived.

In my previous role, I ended up working in an all Indian team at one point. I am an American woman. When I raised a concern to my Indian male manager that an Indian male colleague was not effectively communicating on deliverables and that he had an intense reaction when I asked him to communicate more effectively - the manager told me I “have to be mindful to not be so emotional” Even though I remained calm and professional the whole time and the colleague completely lost his sh-t. So there is that.
@r6
you can't even imagine the scope of these problems in JPM, for example. i personally worked with a pretty large group in JPM that was predominantly Indian. the only white women they didn't manage to fire or squeeze out was the one with superior communication skills and determination . she spent hours writing lengthy emails to HR for every case of abuse she opened. her least fortunate colleagues either were fired after HR receiving.complaimd from them or left as they couldn't withstand the pressure
@r3 I would say get out if you can and find a team of native English speakers/Americans only.
I can tell you it's a night and day difference and any sort of anxiety or stress is gone when you work for a team that actually produces quality work and you aren't having to carry the team's fu-kups like you do with our curry loving friends. Its an absolute treat to speak conversational-paced English and actually use vocabulary fit for college educated people instead of 5 year olds since the curries need everything spelled out for them.
Anyone who goes to or checks out the GS, JPMC, or any other financial institution's (does Not need to be a bank) www.thelayoff.com site will see and read that those companies do NOT have the demographic, behavioural and cultural problems that $hitibank has.
The employees/posters at those companies doNot ridicule their employers for being majority owned or run by Sh!tibank's favourite demographic.
CitIndiabank 🇮🇳
RBI Royal Bank of India
Just like RBC Royal Bank of Canada, RBS Royal Bank of Scotland.
@qx can attest to this, I’m a female American who gets sh@t treatment from a few Indian colleagues and managers. Been highly rated and passed over for promos yet continue to get piled on with workload because I’m competent and kind to people, work for my paycheck and enjoy having an honest paycheck. Guess I’m the d-mb one and drew the cr-p end of the stick for being American? And female?
The ultimate proof I witnessed was couple of years ago, when the manager of a team based in India was muting and unmuting women from his team mid-sentence. For an European for me that was awful - I was thinking raising it to HR, but...they could have turned it back on me as some sort of racism haha, i.e. cultural misunderstanding...
As an American, the India based teams are absolutely awful from a colleague standpoint. They have no respect, don’t let you finish your sentence/talk over you, try to take credit for the work american teammates do, and act high and mighty constantly. Their work is extremely sloppy as well.
I am not sure why no one is taking action against Citi on the H1B, OPT, H4, L1 etc.
Citi abuses it more than the body shopping companies. All the senior managers must be receiving some kind of kickbacks from companies like Wipro, Virtusa, TCS, Infosys. A thorough investigation is required. Most of the employees in Texas and Florida are immigrants. Most of the people who are impacted in layoff are American Citizens. This is not acceptable.
I am afraid this poster is correct. I am hearing about this same behavior from other IT companies. Sad to say I am seeing a divide of communications and not working together as a team. It is almost becoming an us vs. them.

Sh!tibank's finest. Sh!tibank is proud !
I think it is more to do with the culture at Citi because dominated by quite a few visa folks from India
