| Your English seems less rushed than non-native. The red flags that are going off for me are related to the possibility that what you're seeing is an Ivy League white male discounting you as a foreigner. Management in large companies doesn't like complainers. Bringing a problem to management when you don't also have a good solution to offer risks you being labeled a complainer. Going to HR should be a LAST RESORT. HR is not there to help you; it's there to keep management from getting sued. You need to see if you can work with this guy or not. If he's going to continue to discount what you know while still depending on you, you may need to draw very clear boundaries between your work and his, making him responsible for his own compile errors. It may just be that he's gotten off on the wrong foot. You may be able to teach him if his head isn't already full of his own importance, or if you are willing to take a secondary role to his "Ivy" leadership. If neither of these things look to be happening, I'd be looking for another job, not going to management with a complaint that effectively says, "This guy thinks he's better than me, but he isn't!" No management wants to have to deal with that kind of complaint, so will start making your life more difficult in small ways. Your non-native English is going to cause people to underestimate your intelligence in many places in the U.S., however. May work better for you to find a job in a company with a strong international presence, which will be less likely to equate English fluency with intelligence. |
