I was put in a team as a “care lead” because I was Polish and the team was Polish too. Weren’t allowed to be the actual teamleader, that was given to a dude from the US. He was absent like 99% of the time, made like two one hour meetings to “transfer knowledge” over 6 months. Then he came back, started getting pissy that people treated me as the teamlead instead of him, went to his manager and got me “transferred” out. Also, all of the scrummasters (like 8 different teams) were black, went through the company “academy” (basically a 3 month bootcamp) without any prior IT / programming experience, with completely incomprehensible accents. Some of them were later fired for security issues (one took a company laptop with medical software and client data, hardcore HIPAA shit, to Africa, without disclosing it, getting it cleared / secured), incompetence or bad fit. I think three were left after a year I was there.
