@zhr - "it's where harder working better coding will come from". You are kidding right? India is a total sh---show and every manager with the ability to onshore development and support back to the US does at the FIRST opportunity. Everyone cringes when they know An India based tea is their only option.
Work output quality is awful.
Is something like: बरतरफ़ी
There's an old saying: You get what you pay for.
I can say definitively that there will be layoffs in India tomorrow. Some managers in US have been asked to do notifications to India people starting at Midnight ET.
"Way too many seat warmers there too.! Most managers hardly know what actually team does, absolutely no technical skills. Higher the manager in hierarchy, farther away from reality. S---ing $$$ with fancy titles and no tangible contribution to company"
In the US and as far as I have experienced nearly 2 decades in IT and engineering. Managers not supposed to know anything about the technical aspects of the team so that they can focus on people, meetings and approving mediocre expenses. (NOT that i agreed with the concept). I have gone through 2 dozens managers (some years, I would have 2-3 managers replacement i one year). I have not once had a manager that really know what exactly the team does from the technical aspect. People managers are more of distributing works and performing performance reviews. I have also once worked in a team lost 2 managers and we simply self managed for 1.5 years as a team just fine. Currently with new company, our team is going through so-called manager rotation scheme where different managers from different teams will get shuffle around every 6 months to learn the business. Imagine what these managers actually know about the team does? I do not think this should have been happening for first line managers. Senior managers and Directors might be exception as they do not really need to know coding or IT administration works but focus on organizational directions.
Hopefully all of India. Bring the jobs back to the US
