Does anybody else find it odd that this mans real name is: Shadi Al'lababidi
However, his UpWork profile is: Shadi Paterson
I've seen this done quite a bit when companies (especially the American kind) ship their support overseas, but are either too embarrassed to let their workers use their real names OR justify such actions by saying: "Some Americans will find it difficult to say your name" (or in other implicit scenarios, because your name is Muslim-sounding - or X-sounding - will associate you with terrorism/other-ism).
Imagine the world we live in, where in order to do a job (or get work), you have to literally change your REAL name to appease to the demographic.
Whether Shadi did this of his own accord or was instructed to by UpWork to 'passively appeal' to the hiring-clients, it is quite a shocker to see it YET AGAIN.
