Seattle could become the first city to ban caste discrimination

Always makes me wondering - why do these people work in Indian-managed companies? Outside of Indian expats, no one knows or gives a damn about castes. And this is probably the most toxic environment to work in, anyway - Indian companies are known for their power games and nepotism. Why choose them?

I would assume that anywhere you work, the opportunity for discrimination exists independent of who is a manager.

Just not caste discrimination. No one who isn't from India or Bangladesh (and partially, Pakistan), has a slightest idea what a caste is and which of them are "better".

My point is that people other than management influence your career. From interviews to mentorship to peer feedback there's lots of places where discrimination can creep in.

We Russians face the same problem (except all us are a "bad" caste). Solution is to try hard to work in environment with no other Russians or Russian-speakers.

Let me get this straight: You are wondering why people work for companies like Google, Microsoft, VmWare or Adobe?
