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.
-
There was quite a few in the UK as well, mostly in Leicester (large Indian immigrant population there). People being paid £3 an hour when it should have been about £8 at the time.
If you buy cheap clothes from the likes of BooHoo you should know that they're made in these places, and if you buy expensive clothes, then they're probably made in the exact same conditions with a nicer label sewn in the back and a better PR department to handwave away any wrongdoing.

Has this been reported? If this Is in Canada there are worker protection services....
-
yes it has been and these places still exist today. They especially love taking advantage of their own.
-
That really sucks 🙁

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

I work with a few Indian development teams, and "sweatshop" is an apt description. We work on software dependencies, as specified by them. After we deliver, they decide it's not what they wanted, change the specs and treat it as a "drop everything else" bug. It gives me no greater pleasure than telling them to relax, that we'll get to it in due time when we have the capacity. I like to think that a few of their managers already popped a vein.

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.

Yes I have been treated like shit from "white" managers as well (although i don't know what white means here).
