Manager promoting same nationality over locals despite local having better skillset
Career, Job, Edu Qn in SGLocal Application Engineer here working in a local IT Vendor (client is a stat board). My current project is ending this year end. All of us in our team are eagerly awaiting to see if we'll be chosen to transition to the next project. I just came to find out that my manager is personally coaching the team members who are of the same nationality as her (you can guess) so that she can push them for the transition.
I work hard. I'm confident in my work and skillset and have established a good reputation with the rest of the developers as the go-to guy when there's an issue to troubleshoot. I work overtime with no pay. I'm applying for jobs but the job market isn't exactly booming. If I don't get the transition, I'll be out of a job by November.
What should I do? I want to confront my manager and "quiet quit" if she confirms it.
