Do Indians really support each other in the workplace?

Posted 11 months ago it seems to me like there is more competition between us indians at the same company, than amongst other ethnic communities. why is that? |

| Posted 11 months ago It's all about scarcity of H1-B visas. Ask most Americans, and they equate H1-Bs with Indians -- and so do we. I wonder, though, if that's true. Do Indians truly get the largest share of H1-B's each year, or does it just seem that way to me. |

| Posted 11 months ago I find that Indians are very competitive in nature and they compare themselves to other Indians. In order to *feel* successful, we (Indians) want to do better than our peer set which is other Indians. I like what is happening in India where there is a strong sense of unity. i suspect this will make its way over here. |

| Posted 11 months ago I don't agree. Many of the best managers I have had have been Indians. They know where we are coming from, and how to get things done. |

| Posted 11 months ago It is what you make of it, isn't it? If you utilize the shared background correctly, you can achieve positive outcomes. |

| Posted 10 months ago I think that is we work together in the same place then there is a lot of competition. But once we meet other people in different company we share and learn the most from. |

| Posted 9 months ago As far as the racial factor, I think that if anything Indians tend to stick together more than they compete. |
