I've worked with India teams in 5 companies. Always bad. we need to rehire Americans to manage/oversight or redo. Ends up costing more. The code and website teams complaints never end but c level Don't care.
End up bad, but for the first couple of quarters that "rock star" MBA has created huge short term profits. And is that what really matters in business these days...
Website example was a small private company with no investors. Like wtf? literally had to redo every web page and suddenly no one cares about the time spent. 6 months earler all huff and puffin "well India says they can do it in a month". Worst part is they won't acknowledge the months of work the US team put in to fix website. They only cared they had something even if it was trash.
Boondoggles/prolifrigates proliferate, unfortunately.
Lol no idea what you mean.
Basically that people and companies will spend a lot to save a little.
Ugh nightmare. Why don't they learn!?
My best guess? A need to protect the image they've constructed to obscure the true self, which probably isn't all that bad, in reality, but feels a misplaced need to compete with the images others have constructed that obscure their true selves. There's a lot to be said for manners, but there's a notable difference between authenticity and faux ego.
