Global Ambitions: Non-US Citizens Starting Companies in the US

I'm definitely getting the short end of the stick here. I do not have the same clout, benefits, or opportunities as a local worker. 

It's not fair, family. Victimization occurs because I have been speaking out against being underpaid and unfairly docked wages, which is completely illegal. I've even informed the Citizens Advice Bureau that I intend to file a complaint about it. When I find out that my pay has been deducted from our wages, I'm like, "Bruh, what's up with that? I've asked my line supervisor several times to explain why they're unfairly docking our wages. But I didn't receive a lit answer, smh. A little less than a quarter (out of twenty-two respondents) said that employers' failure to recognize their potential harmed their understanding of equality and cultural clout. Ausra and Paulius are prime examples of how employers undervalued their mad skills, which could have significantly boosted the company's future success, you know? Ausra spilled the tea about how her grind was ruined by her shady boss:


I'm always grinding and doing the same amount of work, if not more, under that piece rate system, do you feel me? But my line supervisor never writes down the correct figure, fam. She thinks I'm an absolute lightweight. and flex bigger stacks without even trying to grind. She knows I have the mad skills, qualities, and abilities to pack more boxes/trays than anyone else in the pack house, but she's openly hating and trying to bring me down. Like, bruh, a few months ago, my manager told me to pack those hole-sale herbs (50gms, 20gms) and be paid per piece. That was wild, man. OMG, I was shook when I looked at my wage slip! My pay was extremely unsatisfactory, with no cap! When I asked why, she simply said I didn't flex enough boxes on the work sheet. This was a mind-blowing stunt that happened several times. Anastazja spilled the beans to me: My boss knows I have mad speed and skills, ya feel? However, I am always kept in the dark because my line manager never reveals whether or not I have been doing piece work and what the rate is for that. Instead, every day when I go to work, I have to wait forever to get her thoughts on what to do. It's her trick to make me procrastinate on getting things done while doing piecework so she can unfairly reduce my pay. She wants to prove that I am not meeting my goals.

Only three people enjoyed equal status, rights, and opportunities at work. 


Alina's stories, which are described below, help to prove this point. She's completely unique, and it appears that she's had a great time. Her story may be significant to both people of color and white people alike. She thinks getting jobs that match her skills is no big deal. She totally went for a beauty therapist position in town, you know? She snagged the job like she was on the shortlist for this upscale beauty salon position. She has already given her current employer a solid four weeks' notice. She's upset with the Scottish people she's grinding with. Despite the fact that she never sees him, she is completely at ease with her boss. She's completely fine with everyone being on the same level, having the same rights, and having equal opportunities at work. She believes that equal cultural clout is fully secured for both the squad and the family members. The tea leaves from the interviews with policymakers on equal vibes, rights, and opportunities at work, as well as the uncertainty about ensuring equality and equal clout of cultural capital, indicate that migrant workers can flex and switch it up in different areas with their qualifications. An equality and diversity officer spilled the tea. The government is constantly raising awareness and understanding of equality and diversity, fam. Migrants have mad skills, and employers should be aware of this.
I noticed that my respondents were dealing with some major shade from their boss and were extremely stressed. Instead of speaking up, they remained silent and ended up going through a lot of unnecessary trouble. Many people attempted to switch companies in search of a lucrative job. But it was extremely difficult for them, fam. When asked how migrants feel about accessing jobs / employment that match their skills and qualifications (figure 4.4), seventeen respondents said it was difficult to get access to jobs that match their cultural flex. A Czech guy named Jakub was like:

Although I'm a professional in hair and beauty, I also have secretarial skills, you know? 


So, while I came to this country to work on an ag and fruit picking farm, I also applied to be a legal secretary to assist lawyers and legal executives with the day-to-day operations of a small legal firm. I was completely shortlisted, and the employer said, "Yo, let's put you on some sick apprenticeships to level up your skills in their business." At the end of the day, I decided against taking the apprenticeship. I'm still grinding on the farm to get that bag. But, like, I totally believe it is possible to land a job that is completely aligned with someone's skills and qualifications acquired in the UK or brought from their home country, you know? I completely agree with how Alina's stories demonstrate that migrants' perspectives on finding work are all about their cultural capital, you know? The tea from her and others' stories appears to suggest cultural equality, ya know?
However, less than a quarter of respondents agreed with this view. I was like, "Yo, I asked my friends if they thought there was equal cultural clout between the majority and the minority in our society." The majority of people stated that there is zero cultural equality between the majority and minority in society, which is why migrant farm workers were treated unfairly because their education, skills, knowledge, and qualifications were not recognized (figure 4.5). It is the primary reason why the majority of them work on farms rather than jobs that match their skills and knowledge. Raymond was like: There is a major issue with cultural capital equality, you know? It's really hard for me to find a legitimate job that matches my qualifications. Ugh, how frustrating! This struggle isn't just for the locals, fam.
