Anita is 100% right in this scenario. I've been on both sides of hiring situations like this(sans being called a whore). I was once hired and when I came in on my first day, they literally told be nevermind, we changed our minds on the project development. I also hired someone and after an hour into their first supposed day, I called them only to be told they decided to take a different job. All I'm asking is just to send a freaking email or text or something in these situations. It's one thing if interviews are still happening, but if an offer has been accepted, at least inform the other party that you have declined theirs. The company has a much greater responsibility to do this than the employee so it's sad how bad companies can be about this.

@@TheJjjoj I've been called also unprofessional for declining an Indian company in Europe. But not a Gigolo.. Well done Anita

In the UK when you are out of work you have to do 35 hours a week job search and must attend all interviews and apply for as many suitable jobs as possible or they stop your benefits. Once had 5 interviews in a week. HR should know its is bad PR threatening candidates and very unprofessional, so is firing people with no good reason as employees may have family who are customers. So suggest they make sure their brain engaged before they open their big mouth, big picture and all. Peace 'n' out

I commented on the post hope that helps

Joshua, you're missing one major point here... Indian men are HORRIBLE with dealing with wmn in IT. She wasnt going to get any sympathy. Might have seen sympathy, if Anita were a man. But a wmn... ha. no . Indian men are known for being very sexist and rude, and theyre HUGE KISS-AZZ'S in Corporate society. Kizz azz to wht ppl, step on blk ppl and other indians, esplly wmn. Sorry, dont shoot the messenger, just known thing... in IT

Not to mention most seem to be amles

Indians?

Unbelievable

do people with real job are on Linkedin? haha.

These people saying "both are responsible" or "she was unprofessional", I'm pretty sure calling someone a whore and threatening them for having the audacity to politely decline a job offer is not only unprofessional, it borders on criminal. Anyone who thinks she bares any responsibility for ANYTHING needs to have their head examined. On the bright side, she made a fantastic choice by deciding NOT to work for these psychopaths. Also, look at the public service she is doing by simply putting their BS on display for the world to see. Hey corporate psychos. Here is a free tip. If you don't want it broadcast to the whole world, DON'T HIT SEND.

She should file a case with the local police in Mumbai as she has the digital proof in Texts. Governments/Companies/Organizations want good slaves who are married/have kids. After about 20 years working, I'll tell young people you should not have any loyalty to any organization, they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Also to ensure no slavery, young people dont get married and dont get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. Promote this idea in videos and social media to help prevent more young people into this new slavery.

Use our right of speech to speak out about these bad companies, and not stoop to their level.

The company I work for has an office they are growing in India. I’ve seen the HR manual for the India division and the stuff for the “work culture” is nuts.

I'm an Indian, and the labour saws are horrible here! I face so much harassment from bosses and even peers. There's no recourse since the work culture is the same in all companies 🙁

Mostly service companies do these bullshit .

One company I worked at had an Indian as a manager and it was a toxic department. Upside was that it was at a US based company so they had to scale back their toxic traits. And they explained they left India because of the toxic work culture, yet they tried to replicate it in the US. Boggles my mind

Cases should be bought by this woman against the Recruiter and all the people who harassed her on LinkedIn. Hopefully they kept their posts up and their home addresses can be tracked to find the local police for each person. The women's right commission should also be used as in this case I dont feel it would be an abuse of the system to bring cases against all those individuals. Governments/Companies/Organizations want good slaves who are married/have kids. After about 20 years working, I'll tell young people you should not have any loyalty to any organization, they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you.

Other things are ok but you know nothing about labour laws.

work as a freelancer, it's the same in my country where they work you like a slave and pay you pennies, i started working as a freelancer and i must say: it's the best decision i've ever made, i work a few hours a day for 2-6 the pay.

@@nandi7772 how did you know that he/she does not know? Are you a personal acquaintance of that person? Just curious how were you able to figure that out.

@@humanfirst11 The guy is saying labour laws in India are not great but in reality they are so harsh that it becomes very hard to do business.

@@nandi7772 so that means you are aware of the labor laws in India?

I don't like to generalize a country, but I can't imagine what it would be like to live over there, what with all the scammers, etc,. It must be a corporate-captured, authoritarian nightmare that makes the US look like a picnic.

​@@Seattle-2017 The sad thing is India is the largest democracy in the world, yet is so backwards culturally. Sexual assault is almost normalized there.

They don’t care about women over there

@@Seattle-2017 LinkedIn attracts corporate suck ups and probably makes the work culture seem worse than it is. Can't say much about the other stuff.

@@MelaniaRose Pewdiepie exposed them for the bobs and vegana meme. Even reddit exposed a community, they call themselves "currycels". Let's not say the entire country is like that, but there are a lot of "cels" in India.

It's like a red flag - if anything has "zero harassment" warnings, it's because there's a LOT of harassment 🙄

"We've been trying to improve the company culture" translation: we had a lot of near miss lawsuits and were worried about getting sued again.

Indian women are routinely assaulted on public transportation systems by Indian men. The situation, at one point during the early 2000s, received so much attention around the world that the Indian police actually had to start cracking down on those predatory gangs of men, although initially the police put the onus on the victims to "be more aware of your surroundings."

There all bots..

Bot or not - still predatory

Brotha this is India, these mfs are wild

Even in "Western" countries, the same kind of crap happens. It's just that some supremacists deny that it happens because they think themselves superior. I've seen and experienced plenty of abusive behaviour. Victims of such abuse are always disbelieved and discriminated against. The abusers know they can get away with it with zero consequences because everyone else thinks of the victim as a lesser person, less than human and one not deserving of rights.

@@FlabbyTabby Certainly, but when you compare, I’ll rather be a “victim” in an imperfect western work environment where at least you have some choices and some protections, rather than a work environment highly conditioned against employees cemented by strong cultural traditions. You can be abused in a western work environment as much as anywhere else, but it remains your choice whether you want to stick with it or give it a shot somewhere else where you have a chance of a different culture. Speaking from experience after 18 years in the work force and several roles.

@@alarriag1 " it remains your choice whether you want to stick with it or give it a shot somewhere else " Lol no. Lots of employers brand you as a problem employee if you tell them that you had bad experiences at a previous workplace. Complain about abusive behaviour from your previous boss? The people who were just praising you will immediately say you're not suitable for the job. Doesn't matter where you are in the world, abusive workplaces, bosses and practices always exist. It's not that easy to just "get a new job". Even when everyone's hounding you to come interview with them. Lots and lots of discrimination factors into whether or not you can get a job. It's based on how the hiring manager, interviewers and recruiters perceive you, not your actual skills.

As a Pakistani-American, I think there may be two reasons. the Caste system where the higher caste will keep the lower castes down by conditioning them to not question "their superiors". The other is colonialism and the mindset it promoted. For 200 years the British were our bosses and were unquestionable, even after independence the attitude of don't question the boss probably got passed down. I wish Tipu Sultan had succeeded before Gandhi or Jinnah since he was allied with the French and could have imported the French Revolution's attitudes on such issues while Gandhi and Jinnah were educated in the UK and carried the old British attitudes to some extent.

We have an outsourced company switching us over to Oracle right now. All of the software people are Indian, and we have seen some rather rude or blunt conversations between them to people who are lower on the totem pole. One of the people who works for my team is Indian-American (I'm guessing second generation) and said it's a common cultural trait that they are much more "You need to shut up and do what I'm telling you NOW" in their management hierarchy than what we would consider acceptable in the US.

Yeah, think it was massively brave of him to discuss his family issues. Made me wanna 'hug' him, and say... it'll get better.. I swear. But gotta severe ties, from that toxicity or ull never heal.

I feel bad for saying this , as outrageous as it is , this right here is so common here in Mumbai . If you notice the lady is calmer because she is most likely a victim of Eve teasing on top of this . Eve teasing so common that women don't even have the time to complain . You could start the day with it and end up being insulted in the office and then walk out as if nothing happened. Those boys' comments are very much *look what you made me do*

FACTS!!!

Victim blaming in general is more due to anxiety. People don't want to accept that such a horrible thing can happen to them too. They don't want to accept that they don't have control. So, people make up reasons for such a thing to happen to a victim, and then say "if you just avoid doing X,Y and Z the bad thing won't happen".

@@AlmondBean730 Would denial fit better? I mean, 90% of the people in that thread were in denial as well lol

@@FlabbyTabby Thats an interesting take on the reason behind that behaviour.

@@emmm_4465 Read up about the just world fallacy. That is basically the reason behind victim blaming. A denial of reality, because reality is too scary to cope with.

Even if you’re not wearing anything sexy then why were u out at night or why did u park in the back of the parking lot . I remember dad blaming a woman for being raped at a car wash the one that you wash yourself he was like she should’ve been out there at night washing her car. I was attacked never told my parents . Cause I remember what my dad said

Firstly, it is disgusting that such an incident happened. I entirely condemn it. This is a classic case of victim blaming. On the other hand it is wrong to generalize that "such attitudes" towards women is rampant in India. Based on what I've seen so far, it is the US that often ranks among the top place when it comes to misogyny, crime cases against women per capita. I don't wish to draw comparisons between India and the US. But these problems are not unique to India. The US is not immune.

@@krishnasiddharth5032 He is referring to employer-employee relations, not man-woman relations. What does misogyny has to do with anything? When did the OP said that "such attitudes *towards women* are rampant" ?

@Krishna Siddharth Lol lady you didn't even watch the video. It ain't even about Misogyny you goober.

@@krishnasiddharth5032 Your comment is such a clear example of a Freudian slip lol. First of all, no one mentioned misogyny but also the fact that you’re desperately trying to paint the narrative that India is less misogynistic than the US is hilarious to me.

​@@krishnasiddharth5032 Very true. Misogyny is a worldwide problem and it happens everywhere. Good thing to remember.

This is a positive video. Read between the lines. Josh does this for all of us. Net gain in my book.

@@matthewgilfus1640 I think my humor escaped you…

It's almost like the universe created this very scenario purely for that reason.

I would also say that he's landed in a place where he's the voice for a great many people that are effectively voiceless. In his recent video about his reimagining his channel he was doubting if he was doing something positive. Undeniably he is. That doesn't require happy go lucky feel good content. Doing social good is done through spending the capital he has though his followership, and becoming their voice. Like the episode where he let the former employee of the grocery store tell his story.

No, there's a lot of abuse that happens even in US companies. They're just careful to not do it over email or any other medium. And they always pick victims that they know no one will believe and who they know they can abuse and get away with it.

Honestly I'd start invoicing companies as a consultant to their HR department if they waste your time. Claim it's an invoice for time and material that would have been otherwise spent on better opportunity. Let them chew on it.

@@Irishcream216 Especially for the useless algos/DS crap that many companies ask software devs for any position. Completely irrelevant and useless for most interviews, but it's the only thing tested.

There were a lot of women in the comments as well, but go on with the stereotype i guess.

@@rahilmalhotra001 thank you, I willl... esplly since we BOTH know the men outnumbered the wmn, easily 10 to 1. Its not really a stereotype, BTW ... when 99% of the comments followsuit, right? so nice try... I guess.

theyre just RUDE AF....

Sycophants? Boot lickers? I don't see how or why would anybody defend the company on this situation, the girl literally got threatened and these lunatics took the company's side.

no offense but some indians, pakistanis, other desis, etc. are such company lapdogs. they make the whole race look bad. it almost looks to non desis that desi people lack a backbone.

My take is that is the way they do business and don't want to change it

Yea never understood being such a die hard for the corporation, especially after working retail, and now call center work (really want out, trying to figure that out). But I would love to know how they got the kool-aid to taste so good

@@RiannaNicole yeah for me working a second more than the standard 8h is often too much.

Someone on one of the posts said she got the recruiter fired? Good. But I'm betting management knew about and condoned this behavior, only taking action because it was publicized (then releasing the drones to attack her on LinkedIn)

Keep quiet or the company politics will get you. They're more effective than the government at gaslighting.

Social anxiety is not introversion

Introversion is all about brain stimulation. Extraverts lack the innate stimulation the introverts have so they choose to be more social and do outdoor stuff. That's why being social as an introvert is tiring. Keep introverts on enough dose of sedatives for longer time and they will do the same stuff the extraverts do.

​@@imiqar2607 I wasn't gonna say it, but correct. We both know what his intention was.

@@imiqar2607 Well said.

You right

Yes the US already does shady bs by outsourcing a bunch of entry level jobs to staffing agencies. 90% of the recruiters that reach out live in India or they are Indian descent but live in the US… companies want to contract everything and not pay benefits

Stuff like this happens in my country often, too, but we have a habit of exposing shit online at the tiniest of issues, so the companies are getting more reclusive 🤣🤣 Kudos to Anita, not only did she have the proper idea of ALWAYS having more than one job offer at hand, but she also showed the lame behaviour of that company online. Sadly Linkedin is a Simp Festival.

Come on now. Obviously every corporation everywhere in the world tries their best to get advantages for themselves and not the employee. But saying the US work culture is no better than Indian work culture is absolutely ridiculous. It's night and day bro dont even compare. There's no way you can say with a straight face youd rather work for an Indian company in India instead of an American company in the states.

Yes, because his work is important. But he also should take time off to destress and do fun things he enjoys because doing what he does is going against a huge toxic work culture established for centuries... and so he needs to take care of himself too.
