I am seeing this for the 3rd time around me.
A new Indian FT joins the company at junior/middle management role... they start to pester the collegues to spend many "solid" hours to coach them about the company, to help them "get their bearings" right. During introductory meeting with colleagues, they "modestly" explain they are new and on "honeymoon" period "at least for the first 30 days".
In a recent case, the guy was like "this is my second week here, i'm still learning"... in the second month he was like "this is my second month here, i'm still learning". We were all predicting how far he will take this self-declared honeymoon period? Anyway this chap could not take the fxxking from the boss who hired him (but now feel cheated) and resigned within 3 months. Of course all these happened because there are people at senior management level who believes in hiring FTs.
I even had a peer whom when asked to share how far is he immersed in his job? His answer was moi has not spent enough time to coach him hence he is still not up to speed. What i did next was i spent a "formal" one hour session and bombard him with more information than he could assimilate, then i offloaded a chunk of my work to him... the guy is now drowning and i am enjoying seeing him suffer.
C'mon stupid FTs... wake up your fxxking ideas... there is no honeymoon period in this world, honeymoons are meant only for newly weds. The day you join the company is the day you get drown in work and learn on the job
The chinks are surprisingly a lot more diligent and i had no problems with them.
Many Indian FTs are getting smarter, a few around me has rushed to take up PRs/citizenship. They realised their honeymoon period is about over and if they remain on employment pass, they could soon be on their way home on a boat. They are taking full advantage of the window of opportunity before the reverse flow of FTs materialise.
