Indian Bosses Still Have Slave Attitude in West, says a study Print E-mail

Indian bosses tend to have a double standard for their white staff in  comparison to Indian and Black staff. An independent research conducted by IndianJobsOnline.com aims to bring public attention on Indian bosses in UK has revealed.

 

This research is based on personal  experiences of the author as well as other people who have been in  similar situations. Indian bosses tend to favor the white staff and  mistreat their Indian and Black counterparts because of their skin colour, claims the portal. 

Indian bosses tend to have a double standard for their white staff in  comparison to Indian and Black staff. This research is based on personal  experiences of the author as well as other people who have been in  similar situations. Indian bosses tend to favor the white staff and  mistreat their Indian and Black counterparts because of their skin colour.

This research blames Indian bosses on having an inferiority complex.  They will not ever dare to say any thing to white staff. For example, if  a white staff walks into the office late or even leaves early it would  not be a problem but if an Indian or Black staff does the same then  action is taken immediately. This may even include shouting in front of  the entire office as though one were at school. Indian bosses also expect 
Asian and Black staff to work twice harder and spend longer hours in  order to prove themselves but a promotion for the white staff is fast  tracked so long as the white staffs are willing to have lunch with them  especially females. 

This situation is even worse in the medical profession where Indian  doctor and Asian nursing staff give more importance and priority to white  patients compare to Asian and Black patients. When a white patient  arrives in the surgery then the doctor will personally attend and greet  them. He will spend reasonable time to do all the checks in a prescribed  manner showing off his customer service skills. On the other hand, when  Black and Asian patients walk into a GP’s surgery then they are  treated like second class citizens by Indian doctors or nurses.

Another example of double standards is in an interview situation. If  the interviewer is Indian, chances of securing employment is very slim  for an Asian employee in comparison to a white employer. Asian bosses  also fear from their white bosses in selecting an Asian employee. They  will be more worried as to what their white boss will think of them.

Finally, the classic example would have to be Indian working in  customer service in United Kingdom. Asians show off their customer service  skills when serving a white customer. They will behave politely with a  huge smile on their face; they will also use their sense of humor when  dealing with the white customers treating white customers with the  uppermost superiority. With Asians and Black customers their attitude is  altogether different. There will be a change in their tone, their smiley  face will become serious and their attitude completely arrogant. They will utilize this moment as showing off their authoritative powers on people  of the same race and colour.

In addition, white people do not laugh at non English people's  poor or broken English or their accent when it comes down to  communicating with them but Indians will be the first to laugh at other  people's poor English or their accent. They will not even spare their own  parents. Indian bosses will only treat Asian staff nicely if they are  related to them or if they have some kind of social pressure on them. 

During this search 100 Indian jobseekers have been contacted and 80% of  them prefer reporting to a white boss or a Black boss compared to an  Asian boss. This shows the seriousness about this issue. Indian bosses  take Asian staff for granted and try to bully them instead to making good  relations with them and utilizing talent when they come across it.  

Note: Asians means here Indian, Pakistanis, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and British Indians.
