I have little actual work interaction with them due to their clannish nature. My interactions were largely in schooling, then also talking to people in my work that directly work with them.

I purposely went into power since it’s almost completely white males. I hate HR and their training.
Pretty near everyone I interact with is mostly conservative and the opposite of woke.

You’re retired, correct?
What specific field did you work in?

Actually I’m still working for a few more (3-5) years.

I was an electronics design engineer for AN/SQQ-89 and then technical manager on AN/BSY2 program. Started out as a sub hunter from the surface, to sub hunter/killer under sea. Then Experimental Physicist at an Electron/Positron Collider and from there into medical equipment design management. Currently working as design engineering manager for high speed commercial printers.

I’ve worked with a lot of engineers. Some are very good, others are really bad, not much in the middle. The Rooskies have some really imaginative engineers who can take absolute rubbish and still make it work. Chinese tend to be not as visionary, and choose to make things more complicated than is necessary. Indians tend to be the “easy way” and not the most robust designs (i.e overload components with too wide tolerances [i.e 10% resistor vs 1%] ). I’ve worked with some outstanding Germán engineers, and other Germans who were weapons-grade stupid.

For the most part all of these things were VFW’s (Very few Women) All positions were mostly white (>80%), a few Slants (in order of capability... Jap, Korean, Chi) one or two Indians who were uniformly the weakest.

The Indian are clannish, but that is because they fear losing their status and being deported if they haven’t made the jump to green card holder.
