Amex seemed to have a pretty aggressive attitude towards a person who moved across the world to work for them.

Here's a person who had a job, paid taxes, participated in daily life, helped this company grow, and you think you gave them something?

They were hired by a company in the US, the company thanks them by paying them and helping them with immigration. This person was working like most of us, I don't see why they don't deserve to be treated like a human being.

Calling this indentured servitude isn't a stretch. You uproot your life to come to the US, and now your new life is being held hostage through arcane immigration procedures. Of course they have the right to be pissed off!

There's also the irony that most people "earned" the right to work in the US through the difficult task of being born in the country.

I don't see how he was not being treated like a human being? He was paid a salary he agreed to when he signed the contract, he did the work that he signed up for, we don't really know why he never got promotion, there could be many reasons why, his aggressive attitude might be one of them...
