You’re not understanding the position this person is in. Many Indian techs have no fucking choice.
My wife’s Filipino and is scared shitless to call in sick. She’s knocking it out the park at her job, works at home most days so I know how she’s doing. “But will they fire me if I call in?”
Her employer finally fired her friend after missing 2-weeks, and then a month, among other scattered call-ins. (For context, the friend is bugfuck nuts, not the sort of person you want as a friend or coworker.)
At this point you should admit you are privileged.
I’m not arguing with your point that a lot of people have no choice about going to work, but why is your wife scared? Her employer seems quite tolerant. Her friend wasn’t fired until missing a lot of work. I don’t understand.

It sounds like he’s saying his wife is still traumatized from her work experience in the Philippines.

You sound like a conservative arguing that being a white American carries no privilege.

If you’re a wage slave in an at will employment state you kind of are de facto lower caste though.
