Re: Bye Bye Pink ICs
Agree. I work in an office with many FTs (American, British, Filipino, German, Indonesian, Indian, Irish, Malaysian, PRC, Taiwanese, Vietnamese...).
Working with Filipinos has been highly unpleasant.
Reasons as follows:
- Unfinished work as Filipinos are twice as likely to go on Medical Leave
- Unable to meet deadlines, Filipinos' justification have been uneven workload, lack of resources, health issue (unable to take stress) & family issues
Fact being :*: all employees face similar conditions.
Filipinos do speak better English than PRC & Vietnamese BUT they are the least productive!!!
These companies try to replicate Fortune 500 Companies , equal opportunity employers with hiring practise of distinct flavour :- That's why people are reluctant to leave such companies as it's a plesant and profesional working environment, not some hawker market with shouting and matches and all.
1. their ratio is predominately 10% of each type making up the entire workforce.(to prevent clinques forming which leads to = complacency = unproductivity = lousy working environment for all.
In other words, you see a collective mix of (American, British, Filipino, German, Indonesian, Indian, Irish, Malaysian, PRC, Taiwanese, Vietnamese...).etc sometimes africas or greece....
2. They are United Nations of all employers. Gold standard, you never see 50% more of the same type like 70% more indians than chinese , it's a line they draw most the time. unless they can't find, then they have to sacrifice productivity and gave way to hiring more of the same kind, and you risk rejecting the actual talented people.
You can therefore tell what kind of company by looking at their racial mix, if 70% of the same type, whether Singapore, malaysia, pinoy, chinese, it's a lousy company. you can pass. It shows lack of ability of the hiring manager whether for reasons such as labour shortage...etc.... we dunno, but you can sense they did try at some stage.
In an Indian IT company, You have various indians from different villages though all of them look alike with but talk with different dialects. India has 1000 dialects.
From the outside it looks as if they are all indian, but are of different villages. So it's wrong to say ALL indians are stealing occupying jobs. This again is subjected to quota, they never hire more percentage from an indian village.
The trend now however is moving towards hiring the Indian Housewife chapati auntie in IT (you can see it), and this has depressed the wages of former Indian IT workers as well and it's sore for them.
Harvard, MIT and Princeton ? Just a thought here. No wonder many left for better work life and opportunity abroad. :*: As FTs
