It was a fucked up situation, the team in question told me something is only dev complete when unit testing, etc is all done. Except the curry munchers before me had no unit tests or anything, so i had to scaffold the entire solution to add unit tests, create an architecture, etc. On top of this there were a ton of infrastructure changes required because those werent added in either. And the developer testing the changes was so lazy he considered himself block instead of escalating, and then took a vacation because he couldnt find some testing files ... even though those files were in a git repo. So yeah, im rage quitting this shit because i cant deal with indians anymore, backstabbing, vindictive pieces of shit
My experience in validation engineering in both pharmaceuticals aeronautical and automotive mirror yours. If you want to work with mainly white people, try oil gas and energy industry. Sure upper management is 70% jews, but the people you work with are white, and the real head honchos are white too. They don't have time for no namby pamby BS.

In hindsight, maybe you should have documented the mess FIRST. In the boat maintenance business for instance, that's what you ALWAYS do, you take a picture of everything before touching anything, because once in a while, you have that shit client who's going to tell you YOU broke that shit on his boat while it was broken from the beginning and fixing it isn't part of what he paid for
Now I get that it's a different field here, it's coding, but the same approach should be maintained, to fend off against shit coworkers pining their shit work on you. That is of course, if your boss is an honest person to begin with. If he isn't then it's fucked you should indeed start to look for another place.
My 2 cents and my full support to you
My boss is Indian and did the needy, by immediately blaming me for all the problems. The super boss man had to come in and remind me that even though my boss is pissed right now, i didnt do anything wrong and that my boss is being fucking ridiculous
That's sad, really
And in that tech sector it's not an easy thing to be your own boss, I mean beyond earning close to peanuts. Unlike plumbers for instance, it's a line of work that can easily be off-shored, and you aren't going to make a living by running yet another forum
A friend of mine found a nice niche. She inherited the company of her father so she doesn't have all the merit, but still, she manages to keep business afloat that's already that
What she does is interesting, business wise, it sits half way in between the "cyber world" and the real world, her business can't really be off-shored because of that; she essentially runs a company of 4 to 5 people, her included, which is specialized in providing "exhibition halls" for all sorts of companies/industries in her area. She "designs" that sort of craporama https://pic8.co/sh/Nmbogg.jpeg
It's mostly a giant lego of prefabs with printed logos on it, she arranges the standard pieces together, with 3D software, add a bit of infographics, does the flyers and shit, and all the the manufacturing is done by other companies, sub contractors. She's in the middle, between the final client and the rest of the production chain for that type of "product".
Of course, I get that you are not exactly into "infographics", but the general idea/philosophy/approach regarding that business, remains interesting IMO
"The art of good business is being a good middleman"
It sounds you like you have your narrative down, put it into corp speak and politely don't back down. I'd have a resume que'd up to fire off at the conclusion of the meeting. It's productive and will make you feel better. Good luck man
Not the first time i was hired into a company as the blame guy and/or problem person when management realized they needed someone to blame
Document what you think happened - management can either recognise the issues as valid, support you and improve their dev process, or they don't and it will happen again. Either way you can only work with what you have control over, it's up to them to allow you to work efficiently. Yep, mixing cultures never works, indians will side with indians and I'm sure they assume that we will do the same. Do whatever has the best outcome for you, I'd be inclined to be a pro as possible though, you never know when you'll end up working with the same people again
just had a meeting over it, didnt really go that well. This company actually comes off as extremely dysfunctional.

management often have a very narrow view of how things work, if they understood your job they'd still be doing your job. You have to steer them away from looking for a fall guy and into a process that will have a better outcome in the future (and not just for you) Generally people like a positive direction to go in rather than a shit flinging competition
