US Business Formation for Non-Citizens: A Detailed Guide

Celina tried to flex on her employer about how unfair their actions were, but instead she hit up the drop in sessions offered by CAB for some mad advice. 

 She was like, "Keep slayin' for your rights, stayin' strong and never lose hope, sis!" Zoran was like, "I'm not sure about this whole equality thing and everyone being valued the same for their culture." Like, he was all like: The use of migrant workers is like, totally seen as a source of mad cheap labor by the growers / farmers. OMG, like foreign workers who are the GOAT and without whose hustle local farmers are straight up unable to survive are still in slavery today. SMH. Zoran's comments be like: yo, peep this - there's mad cheap and chill labor from Eastern European homies workin' on farms in Norway, fam (Rye and Andrzejewska, 2010).

OMG, Anastazja was totally convinced she was getting discriminated against, like for real. Anastazja spilled the tea on how victimisation goes down. When I asked Anastazja how she felt about equal status, rights, and opportunities at the workplace, she was like: So, I was talking to Celina, right? And she was all like, equality and cultural capital? Nah, she had a negative view on equal opportunities. She felt like her cultural capital, you know, all the qualifications and experience she got in Poland and Scotland, wasn't being recognized. After grinding for like four / five years in Quality Control, the company dropped a job opening for Produce Operator and Celina was like, "I'm down." She thought her edu and job experience in Poland and Scotland would like totally help her score a better position, ya know? She wanted to flex her new Scotland experiences as a pack house operative, even though she had mad skills that were way beyond what was needed. She also wanted to blend in her cultural capital from Poland.

She flexed that she felt hella lit cuz of her education, skills, and ability. 

But the job had gone to a local homie (man) who lacked major clout. The company hooked him up with mad easy access to the position, fam. Celina stayed in her dead-end job for, like, years after she moved. She found out that getting the right jobs that match her vibes was way more complicated and hard than she thought. Celina spilled the tea to me: At a certain level, equality for all might be possible, like, a packer as a low-key job. Everyone can be recruited as a packer, no cap, regardless of their qualifications, knowledge, and skills. But equality ain't maintained for upper level positions, fam. The odds of someone getting that promo at the company ain't the same for everyone. Migrant workers can't flex as production or ops manager even if they got the necessary qualifications and skills. To snag those positions, you gotta be local, fam. I think there's still mad secrets about the company's promo plan that we don't even know about. There's like, some tea from my policy interviews with NFU that suggests that there's some issues at some firms and some migrant workers are saying they're getting treated unfairly with racism and bullying. Yet, the interview suggests that NFU didn't find bullies / victims were at high risk of experiencing a bunch of equality, diversity, and fairness issues. The tea from the policy interview with NFU also suggests that migrants have major roles and are hella crucial to packaging, processing, etc. 

Evidence of equal access to all services provided by local authorities regardless of race and religion also popped up in interviews with officials in three local authorities.

 

Like, when we asked how migrants feel about being equal and stuff at work, most of them were like, nahhh, they don't get treated equally or given the same rights and opportunities at work (figure 4.3). One Polish dude was like, it's mad tough to score a gig that vibes with their cultural clout, ya know? Celina, Zoran and Anastazja's personal narratives totally spill the tea on their vibes about equality at the workplace, sis.OMG, policy makers are totally vibing with this issue cuz they found zero tea on any conflict of interest between migrant-non-migrant relationships. No shade, just facts! Fr fr, workplace drama be makin' it hella hard for farm migrants to keep their job on lock. The beef between Paulius and his squad, Ausra and Dalena with their line supervisor, and Zoran and his boss and squad, and Grogore and Daniel with their employers was so whack that farm migrants couldn't even smash that wall of hostility and drama. The personal tea of those workers spill the tea on the kind of drama they faced with people and bosses. It's a total mood of employers not following the rules, smh. The beef between them got mad intense and went on for a minute, but the employers didn't even bother to squash it and offer some peace talks to end the bad vibes. OMG, like, the employers gotta be held accountable for making these totally uncool environments that discriminate against peeps based on their race, color, nationality, or where they come from.
