Now that we are in this very difficult time, I hope our managers specifically in S&T look back at their last 5 years performance and decisions they have made, and have the decency and integrity to accept their shortcomings.
Many important roles were sources out to offshore (India) for less compensation (cheap workforce basically) but did it really help us? Some of our projects are stalled either because of time zone difference, low quality work, and the working culture. Associates from India just simply have different working culture, the finger pointing, blaming games, and deliberately dragging projects feet. We need some serious reorganization and accountability, and stopping the practice of outsourcing jobs. It seems an obvious cost cutting but it cuts deeper than they thought. We might be able to get people up to speed technically but you can’t change their culture
