NEW REPORT: a whistleblower at GM Financial blows the lid on Indian ethnic nepotism and discriminatory hiring.
According to the whistleblower, GM Financial's IT department was recently taken over by Indians who were previously employed at Capital One and Amazon. Upon their arrival, they immediately implemented stack-ranking and began using it to get rid of non-Indian employees. GM Financial experienced layoffs the first year the new CIO, Chitra Herle, joined the company. Herle had previously worked at Silicon Valley Bank prior to their failure and had worked at Capital One before that. The laid-off employees were, naturally, replaced with Indian H-1Bs and contractors. However, following Trump assuming office in January, the company put their foot down and refused to hire more H-1Bs. GM Financial chose not to renew Herle's contract recently and she departed the company.
The whistleblower reports that one of the Indian managers has been spearheading a useless project that no one higher up asked for. This project has been going on for 18 months with nothing substantive delivered, $10 million a month spent on it, and the manager lying to his bosses about its progress.
The whistleblower adds that positions at GM Financial do not even require a bachelor's degree (though they are preferred), simply a high school degree. Why are H-1Bs being hired for a job a high school graduate is qualified for?
The whistleblower adds that he and other managers have been fighting back against the "Indian mafia." They succeeded in getting the existing HR team fired and a new one hired. However, the Indians continue to try and push out non-Indians from the company. An Indian manager was demanding that GM Financial put people on impossible performance plans, including employees on medical LOAs (leave of absence). The new HR team refused these demands, which led to the Indian manager "accus[ing] them of being bureaucrats." Herle promoted him to senior VP and he is now trying to go around the HR team.
Additionally, the whistleblower states that GM Financial used to use panel interviews with the STARS method when interviewing candidates in order to provide consistency and guard against personal biases on the part of the interviewers. The Indians ended this in favor of so-called "power days" where candidates come in and meet individual interviewers for three hours, claiming this is what Capital One and Amazon did and the panel method was too "restrictive." The interviewers then meet with the Indian manager to discuss their thoughts on the candidate. The manager himself does not interview the candidates or listen to feedback from the interviewers; he simply hires people based on whether their name is Indian or not. He also refuses to put any of this in writing.
GM Financial is another company that needs to be investigated due to its Indian staffers violating the law.
