Maybe they hired the wrong person for the job. This could happen with any worker no matter their country of origin.
Maybe they’re a shit manager whose expectations are not clear and who provides no training.
Maybe the employee is going through something at home that is impacting their work. It’s a good manager’s responsibility to know their workers and give them grace.
Racism is just a lazy person’s excuse for not analyzing the complexities of the situation.
Racism doesn't reduce complexity, it introduces complexity.
If you take two independent things, and then invent a rule to connect them. It's strictly additional complexity
And then for some reason people try and combat it by layering on ADDITIONAL complexity. "Have you considered there might be circumstances you are unaware of?" Like, now we've gone from two unrelated things that we've invented a relationship for to that plus some unobserved moral "dark matter" which we can't see but postulate could exist.
The simplest solution is the best.
"Hey we've got the laziest middle Easterners working for us, they're all so shitty"
"Yeah sounds like they're shitting the bed at work. Don't think it has anything to do with where they're from, though"
Idk the simplest solution seems to be “my company keeps hiring lazy people, what does the screening / interview process look like? Why do we keep fucking up on the people we’re hiring?”
There is a big uptick in qualified, competent people interviewing for a job and then SOMEONE ELSE doing the job. This has nothing to do with any region or ethnicity. It's just an issue that teams are facing with remote work.
The management should do their due diligence to make sure they hire the right person and train the new-hire appropriately.
