Erin Green, a former supervisor at Infosys, filed suit this week in the Eastern District of Texas in Sherman, alleging that he and black and white staffers on his team were denied raises and promotions, and that other "non-South Asian" workers were berated by South Asian company officials.
Green, of Frisco, is white and rose to the rank of "head of global immigration" while working in the company's Plano office. He was terminated in June of 2016, ostensibly for violating Infosys' "code of conduct by using his work computer for personal use a number of years earlier."
"Infosys maintains roughly 200,000 employees working in the United States," Green's suit said. While less than 5 percent of the U. S. population is of the South Asian race and national origin, roughly 93 percent to 94 percent of Infosys's United States workforce "is of the South Asian national origin, (primarily Indian)."
"This disproportionately South Asian and Indian workforce, by race and national origin, is a result of Infosys's intentional employment discrimination against individuals who are not South Asian, including discrimination in the hiring, promotion, compensation and termination of individuals," the suit said.

Erin Green said he and black employee and other white employees were not given raises and promotions because they were not Indian (from India). That is what Erin claims in a suit that was filed.

Erin Green was fired for using a company computer for personal use a "number of years ago". Pretty weak reason for a termination.
There is a huge number of South Asian and Indian workers in the work force, this could be interesting. Especially with the weak reason for firing Erin.

Greedy company.
NO surprise. Probably can offer them LESS starting pay for the SAME or BETTER quality work.
Profits over PEOPLE is the new American motto.

It is clear that many of these companies are exploiting h1-bs They are high paying jobs, but they don't pay as well as they would American workers.
However, you can't just blame companies solely. Everyone from customers to the CEO is responsible. Companies have to remain competitive. Consumers put a lot of pressure on companies to lower costs. As such, a company has to respond in kind to ensure that they can offer lower prices to consumers, but also remain profitable. This is what ultimately drives a lot of these decisions...
So as Michael Jackson said, look at the man in the mirror... sometimes your own shopping habits are why companies behave the way they do.

You can hold THIS company solely responsible. Are they following federal and state pay guidelines? If so, and I'm assuming they have to and are, are they offering positions to locals? If so and none are filling the positions then they are off the hook. If not, they are exploiting h1-bs. It's pretty cut and dried
