Biz Momentum has detected an emerging trend in the workplace over the preceding years. Emerging trends indicate this culture as:

1. Increasing in the global race for talented people.
2. Where one ethic group dominates the workplace.
3. The rising use of mob power (gang power) to control other employees through fear.
4. Where employees use their native language as a means to freeze out people and keep them guessing.
5. Body language displays disproval of other ethnic groups.
6. Promotion is reserved for those who are of the same ethnic background regardless of talent or lack of talent.
7. Consequences are lower employee morale, low productivity, sabotage, frequent conflict and known to lead to serious violence including homicide.
