<< A buddy of mine just got back from a business meeting in India.
In a full team meeting in front of everyone, the guy leading it said "Our goal is to take all the jobs away from Americans and bring them here"
This is in the building that fired 250 employees 2 weeks ago for falsifing expense reports. >>
And, as another tribute to India's [And to a lesser extent all of at-best morally-relative Asia's] tenuous relationship with moral integrity and honesty, all over the Western/Civilized world are hoards of ever-increasing-in-numbers Indian "salesmen" with suitcases jammed with CDs and DVDs containing the every detail of the every American bank and 'phone and computer and pretty-much-every-other Indian-outsourced company's customers.
When not falsifying his expense account, "Chuck" in Bangalore is fixing your BoA credit card problem and at the same time stealing your identity for later sale to the highest-bidding Russian, Canadian, Malay or Chinaman.
When you learn how to comprehend written English, get back to us. Until then you are just another boob from India.
I live with an Engineer who also teaches. The brightest kid he ever had was Indian, (he thought) but most Engineers are basically unimaginative. (ducking out now)
They never take offense, but they know they have a "friend" on the other end, not just a strange foreign guy.
"And all of these handicaps are horrendously aggravated by the unimaginable sized hesperophobic chips on their shoulders that make it impossible to accept that the loathed and scapegoated ["Colonialist"] white man might both understand their deficiencies and their problems -- and have their solutions to hand."
LOL. My problem with working with them is that they're so difficult to accept that the problem is on THEIR end :) I mean, half of the time i am dealing with Indian engineers is to convince them that they're doing something NOT correct and they ahve a very hard time (probably cultural-based) accepting that.
I also find that unless you freaking specify everything you want down to micro-level, Indian engineers are incapable of writing software up to specification that you watned. It's micromanagement hell.
10 years on and Craig Mundie’s boss is india. Karma is a baytch :)
