Please send me your good wishes,prayers or good mojo. I may lose my job...
There having a "new direction", approach and my job may be phased out.
My boss took the advice of the asshole/Mr. Sweatshop production mgr who want to hire "all asians" in my dept. He spouts off about how asians work faster and harder, yadda, yadda,yadda...
I love my job and losing it now would be devastating.
I just feel really bad and scared. Its hard to find a comparable job at 50 where I live.

5. That's rather bigoted of him don't ya think?
I smell reverse discrimination.

I wish you luck. They want to"reduce overhead" and it smells like a scheme to hire minimum wage flunkies.

10. I hope that doesn't happen! If it does, sue for 'racism' and 'ageism'.
Those are two very valid points.

May it not happen to you. :hug:

11. Best wishes to you.
I worry all the time about my mother's job being sent 'overseas.'
I fucking hate outsourcing.

12. All Asians???
Smells like discrimination against non-Asians and also probable discrimination against Asians (who are apparently supposed to work harder than everyone else).

Document everything you hear, including dates and times and witnesses. Keep a log, just in case you need it.

15. I would consult an attorney post-haste
and get advice on how to proceed with legal action. And, if they are on HB-1 visas, I think it is required that the employer show a qualified U.S. citizen can't fill the spot. I don't think his plan is legal.

Just think, you could be a landmark test case.
