there's still a "bamboo ceiling"
- hollerith 2y agoIs there? The CEOs of Microsoft and Google are Asians who did not even grow up in the US.
- UncleMeat 2y agoSpecific examples don't overcome the overall statistics.
- rufus_foreman 2y ago"bamboo ceiling" is not a statistic.
- UncleMeat 2y agoUnderrepresentation of south and east asians in leadership roles is, though.
- dijit 2y agoDo you have anything to back that up with, as far as I understood it Indian CEOs are responsible for significantly higher percentage of market valuations than their population percentage in the US. Palo Alto Networks & Arista, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, IBM, Netapp, Micron... Even World Bank has an Indian CEO.
- cyberax 2y agoCan you provide the stats? I'm looking at the BLS data and I don't really see anything relevant.
- code_biologist 2y agoThose CEOs are great examples, because they show the operative power networks are things like being a Brahmin or a McKinsey alum. I see less evidence for power networks based on race, or those power networks are doing less.
- RestlessMind 2y ago> operative power networks are things like being a Brahmin eh, what? Why would US corporate culture give a shit about Hindu castes? Google and Microsoft boards appointed Sundar and Satya, but I don't think those boards could tell a Brahmin from a non-Brahmin.
- myroon5 2y agoseems myopic to focus on final promotions in decades-long world-class careers
- hollerith 2y ago> operative power networks are things like being a Brahmin What evidence do you have that Sundar or Satya used any power network to progress in their career? Could it not be that being a Brahmin in India was not all that promising to an ambitious young Indian man and in response he decided to start fresh in another country where he had very little in the way of useful network connections?
