You're not understanding the position this person is in. Many Indian techs have no fucking choice.

My wife's Filipino and is scared shitless to call in sick. She's knocking it out the park at her job, works at home most days so I know how she's doing. "But will they fire me if I call in?"

Her employer finally fired her friend after missing 2-weeks, and then a month, among other scattered call-ins. (For context, the friend is bugfuck nuts, not the sort of person you want as a friend or coworker.)

At this point you should admit you are privileged.
