| schestowitz[TR2] | "The CEO of Microsoft (Satya Nadella, from India) just hired a new, unqualified VP of Xbox (Asha Sharma, whose family is from India), replacing a white guy (Phil Spencer). | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Normally the ethnicity of a person in a role doesn't actually matter. Who cares what part of the world a person has ancestry from, as long as they do a good job... right? | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But, in this case, it's worth pointing out a strange -- highly racist -- pattern within Microsoft. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That pattern is this: | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Microsoft managers from India, disproportionately hire people also from India (even if those people are less qualified than other, non-Indian, candidates). | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A pattern which is overtly racist and anti-meritocracy. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In the case of Asha Sharma, the new Xbox lead, this is glaringly obvious... as she has no experience, whatsoever, working in games. Zero. Not a drop of gaming. (Her longest tenures were at Instacart and working on Facebook messaging.) | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Are we to believe that there were zero candidates available, to lead one of the largest gaming organizations in the world (Xbox), with significant experience working in the gaming industry? Not *one*? | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That is extremely unlikely. In fact, I can say with absolute certainty that there are many managers and directors, already working within Microsoft, with extensive experience (decades) shipping successful games and gaming hardware. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And that's just the internal candidates. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Which means that Asha Sharma was likely hired for a reason other than her applicable work experience. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It is a reasonable assumption, based on Microsoft's established patterns, that she was hired because of her ethnicity. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Microsoft is one of the largest users of H1-B visas within the entire Tech industry -- with the vast majority of those H1-B's going to employees from India. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | More workers from India, replacing non-Indian workers. Every Microsoft employee has seen this happen over the years. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A little personal anecdote: | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Back in the late 1990's, I worked within a small team at Microsoft (only a dozen or so people). When I first joined, the team looked roughly like the surrounding area (Redmond, WA): Mostly white, with one Indian, and one Korean. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It was roughly proportional to the community. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The Indian man was then promoted to a management position. And, quickly, things changed. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In less than 1 year, the team was now predominantly Indian (with a few people of other Asian ancestry)... with only 3 White guys remaining. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Within a single year, the demographic ratio had flipped. It now no longer matched the city in which we worked. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Then things got weird. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The team moved to a new floor of the building, and every employee within the group was given their own, individual office. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Well. Every employee... except for the 3 White guys. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We were put, together, in the smallest office available. The size of a long, thin closet. In fact... I believe it was originally just a storage closet. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It was so cramped that, whenever the guy at the back of the "office" needed to leave the room... the other two guys had to get up and exit one at a time. Single file. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We called it "The Honky Closet". | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | All requests for the "Honkies" to move to space where we could fit was denied by non-Honky management (despite several offices remaining empty). | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The purpose was clear. It was one, of many, attempts to get the remaining "White guys" to willingly quit. Which we all did within a matter of months. | Feb 21 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And, yes, those roles we also replaced with "non-Honkies"." | Feb 21 20:11 |
