My last job started out with me, a white supervisor, and a black guy who was my mentor and one of the smartest guys I've ever met. But he was born and raised in America and spoke proper fucking English. We eventually hired another white guy who SAS also smart AF and we were kicking ass, providing our customers with great support. Other random contractors trickled in and out over 5-6 years. Most were H1B visa fucks who sucked at their job. If the like 5 that came through, only 1 das competent.
4 years later my supervisor left and got replaced by a diversity hire, some Indian street shitter. White dude #2 quit because our new supervisor couldn't keep shit together.
Then street shitter and "management" made the decision to cut smart black guy's contract. Now it's me, holding shit together with the street shitter (who couldn't fix shit even if he tried). "Management" got a new contract with 4 people. 2 Nigerians, a dickhead from Cameroon, and some other moron from some other middle eastern country. 5 coworkers (including supervisor). None were born in America. I had trouble understanding 4 of them. Only 1 of the Nigerian guys was comprehendible and somewhat competent.
The Cameroonian fuck was the lead contractor. One of those fucks that thinks they know everything but are actually a fucking moron. Rude too, always interrupting with his ugly ass accent, trying to tell me what my industry's regulations were (fuck you buddy, I'm not willing to go to jail over your incompetence so yes, we are going to audit that, and yes, we are going to hold that info for 7 years). Anyways, this fuck fucks stuff up left and right, but my ass of a supervisor keeps giving him all the big projects. Stuff that me, white dude #2, and American black guy could have finished in a month takes this team of ding songs 6 months to setup incorrectly.
After 2 years of this fuckery (I liked where I worked and my customers) I had enough and found a new job.
I now work with a bunch of white guys, a couple Asian guys, and a couple of Hispanic guys. No visa gib me's here. It's night and fucking day comparing the old work environment to my new one.
I really DGAF what your skin color is, but if you can't speak proper fucking English and only got hired because you're a diversity hire and undercut a competent person's salary you can go fuck yourself.
