That is why Japan is a rare country with negative GDP growth rate and economy is sinking. From second position in the world, it has reached to forth position and set to become fifth.

Synopsis

Debates about Indian immigrants in the U.S. tech sector surged after a viral post by a U.S. attorney. The post accused an Indian CEO of mismanagement, ousting founders, and replacing top executives with Indians, sparking heated social media discussions about workplace practices, equity, and cultural dynamics in corporate America.

According to the allegations, the CEO ousted the company’s original founders and replaced key leadership positions with a C-suite dominated by Indian professionals.

The ongoing discourse surrounding Indian immigrants, particularly those in the technology sector within the United States, has intensified following a viral post by a U.S. attorney. This post, which has sparked heated debates across social media platforms, accused an Indian CEO of mismanaging a company, displacing its founders, and reshaping its leadership team predominantly with Indian executives.

The attorney’s post detailed claims against the CEO, who allegedly took over a company acquired by a private equity firm. According to the allegations, the CEO ousted the company’s original founders and replaced key leadership positions with a C-suite dominated by Indian professionals. Additionally, the attorney asserted that the CEO leveraged the COVID-19 pandemic as a pretext to implement a 10% temporary pay reduction for employees and halted all promotions.

Further accusations included the CEO’s decision to lay off 15% of the workforce, targeting experienced employees, and shutting down a satellite office. The attorney claimed the associated work was outsourced to India, which reportedly disrupted the company’s culture, decreased client satisfaction, and increased the workload for remaining employees.

Netizens React

The post, since its publication, has amassed over 8 million views and sparked widespread discussions. Many users on X (formerly Twitter) shared their personal experiences, alleging similar practices by Indian executives in high-ranking positions. These anecdotes highlighted concerns about biased hiring practices and job losses among American employees, further fueling the ongoing debate about immigration and workplace equity in the tech industry.

This incident underscores the complexities of immigration dynamics, corporate governance, and diversity in the workplace, offering a lens through which broader issues of inclusion and fairness are being scrutinized in professional environments.

“My ex worked for IBM and they would send employees to India to train their replacements,” revealed one X user.

“Same thing happened at my company. The Indian CEO came in and overnight basically all of the US and European middle management was nuked. The office in India got 5 times bigger. All the talent left was pulling their hair out trying to explain how everything works to the new teams. Who then proceeded to implement 'improvements' that pushed their work back to Europe and made everything easier for them? The European teams are still delivering everything but it's harder now,” lamented another.

Another user revealed how in his hometown, an Indian immigrant came and purchased a gas station and fired 10–15 employees, replacing them with family members.

Not possible. I know you're joking, Often times - US companies are run by incompetent and semi-educated local Gora and other American staff full of themselves. IIT and IIM staff in the C-suite are a thousand times more competent than them. My Indian IIT/IIM graduate friends are all part of the C-suite in various local companies.

But yes - I have heard that complaint from Goras, that Indian senior managers often hire only other Indians because they are cheap to get and maybe the perception is that they are easier to manage. Especially Telugu speaker managers will not even hire other Indians if they don't speak Telugu.

It is our failure as South Asians to have those values - betray the whole DEI philosophy which let us in the door in the first place.

Whatever Gora management will now (emboldened by Trumpers and MAGA legitimization) find it easy to stop hiring Indians (and other South Asians because we look alike).

This dissatisfaction has been brewing for over two decades and Indian C suite have not addressed it by equal HR policies.

I don't think Japanese narrative was at fault here. Bangladesh has the same problem, and maybe Pakistan as well.

It is simple lack of discipline and lack of education for the underclasses which is the fault of the govt. and society that were not instilled during the early years.

Average worker person (semi-educated laborer) in South Asia has a horrible work ethic and is terminally lazy and insincere. This is not the case in Japan. You need to visit Japan. I have had experience in both places, I have seen the difference personally.

Maybe @Lulldapull bhai can confirm, if it has changed recently in Japan which I doubt.

Yaar Bilal our problem is not hard work. Our problem that we are a 'niyat' based society. The Japanese and the west are 'result' oriented societies.

This is the fundamental diff.

Lack of accountability, integrity, honesty, civilization/ nationhood in our region are other issues.

Most of our countries pretty tribal bhai and its 2025. They haven't let go of their primitive tribal mentality yet.

Just look at Afghanis.......lol

'There is a permanent shortage...': Elon Musk challenges claims of foreign talent displacing US tech workers

Musk weighs in on tech talent debate amid backlash over foreign worker policies.

Elon Musk

Elon Musk has sparked conversation around the perennial debate on foreign-born workers in the US tech industry, responding to claims that they might be taking jobs from native-born Americans. The discussion was initiated by Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit, an online platform for coding, who questioned the validity of such allegations.

Masad posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Genuinely curious: Are there actual instances where qualified native-born Americans couldn’t get jobs in tech because foreigners took all of them? I’d be surprised if it’s true because at any given point there are hundreds of thousands of unfilled jobs in tech.”

Responding to Masad, Musk dismissed the notion of job displacement by foreign talent, highlighting the chronic scarcity of skilled engineers in Silicon Valley. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent. It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley,” he wrote.

Musk’s remarks align with ongoing discussions in the tech industry about the need for diverse talent pools to address a growing demand for skilled professionals in areas like artificial intelligence, software engineering, and data science.

The conversation gains significance amidst controversy over the appointment of Indian-American businessman Sriram Krishnan as a senior policy advisor on artificial intelligence in the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump.

While some hail Krishnan’s appointment as a step forward for AI policy, others argue that foreign workers, particularly those on H-1B visas, are being hired at lower wages, allegedly displacing American talent.

Musk rejected this perspective, labelling it as a “fixed pie” fallacy. “There is essentially infinite potential for job and company creation. Think of all the things that didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago!” he said, urging a focus on innovation and growth rather than competition for existing roles.
