I had an American guy say the exact words to me when I asked him a question at 4:49pm on a Friday. I relayed the same to my manager when asked for an update.

Another time, a DBA working on my scripts went offline at 9PM after saying her shift was over. I screenshot the IM and sent it to my manager.

And your manager could not do anything - right?

I may be completely wrong but often white and black folks get away with not doing anything at work.. not everyone is that way but at keast 20-30% are getting paid just to show up at work and stay the whole day. Often visa holders/contractors are expected to spend some extra time without pay.
