Via PR Newswire: “The longer Asian Pacific American (APA) employees live in the United States, the less favorably they view their companies, an annual Asia Society survey found. The 2011 Asian Pacific Americans Corporate Survey indicates that this decline starts after about 10 years and is most apparent amongst APA employees who have lived in the US 20+ years or who are US-born….With the APA population growing faster than any other ethnic group, except for Hispanics, the disengagement suggested by the data will fast become an even larger issue.”

Wow what a worthless study, it doesn’t compare it to any other races to see how the numbers compare.

It’s not surprising though, working at a desk job and getting paid a decent salary where you have real, enforced labor laws beats the hell out of say, selling cucumbers in an outdoor market for 12 hours long.

@TienVNguyen Good point. I suspect that most people of any ethnicity would get start viewing their company less favorably over time, and that if you are born in the US or have been around long enough, you would be more negative or cynical. I don’t think that the way many companies have treated their employees in the past 10-20 years will do much to improve the images of companies in employees’ eyes.

@TienVNguyen although the article hints at career limitations, the words “bamboo ceiling” is not mentioned anywhere…
