[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is thread is funny.

Microsoft just got an Asian CEO. Satya Nadella, ever heard of him?

What does he have in common with PepsiCo, Deutsche Bank, Mastercard CEOs? You guessed it, they are Asians![/quote]

You left out the fact that Bill Gates was replaced by senior tech executive, John W. Thompson, as Chairman of Microsoft.  Mr. Thompson is African American.  [/quote]

Exactly!

But don't let OP know. S/he might commit suicide.[/quote]

This is OP. I just came back on to the forum and read all the comments. To the posters who said that the thread is started by white insecure person, please let me clarify.

I am a first generation Asian myself working my butt off in a corporate world (to be more specific- Indian). I am very proud of the achievements of Satya Nadella and other Asians making their mark in corporate world.

I started the thread in part due to the frustration of working in corporate world with a double walled glass ceiling. No matter how much better I am at my work, I have to work 2 to 3 times harder to get the same recognition. I push my kids to excel in everything they do and that includes academics as well as extracurricular activities because I know that the road is going to be equally hard for them. Then I hear whining and complaining about being a tiger mom. Is this insecurity or what?[/quote]

As I read your post, I couldn't help but wonder if you're lacking in some of the soft skills. Or, are you simply not making connections with the right people? A lot of success in the workplace comes from WHO you know not what you know. A gentleman told me that when I was still in college over 20 years ago, and I've come to discover it is TRUE.

Yes, you will have to kiss a few rear ends. It's not fair but it is reality.[/quote]
