Yeah, I'll take my own experiences of actually working with and hiring Indians both in their own country and here over your meaningless speculation. Have you ever been to Bangalore or had Indians work for you?

Right, has nothing to do with race but culture and education.

A month ago I had to download a file from a secured website and the way my job works is that you have to go through the technology division to do that for security purposes. After opening up a ticket (for whatever reason, when you're working with people in Bangalore, they need you to open a ticket no matter how simple the task is) it took 15 emails (not an exaggerating, 15 emails) before one of them spent the 45 seconds needed to download the file.

:lol yeah they love those tickets (takes more time for them to read and close them than to accomplish the task) because it gives them a way to hide their inefficiency

:cry I serviced 215 tickets this week :cry

I also love how you have to specify your religion (no atheist option) and disclose if your grandparents have any ties to Pakistan on your visa application :lol

:lol and whenever you call the technology help desk in Bangalore, no matter what the problem is, their first response is "Try logging out and logging back in again" or "Have you restarted your CPU?"

There was one time when I called them because there was a system failure and my computer wasn't letter me log on. The guy actually said "Can you log out and then try to log on?" right after I told him I couldn't log on :lmao

Complete opposite of reality. You can't even understand them on the phone unless it's a landline because their cell service is so shitty and everywhere you go all you can hear are them honking their fucking horns :lol They wont even drive in the West because they know they'll get arrested or kill someone

Also, if you're a Muslim in India you're allowed to have multiple wives :lol

The first time I hired an Indian, the local manager told me the girl I wanted to hire was of lower caste and I should hire the other one :lol

And in the past 18 months I've had 3 employees in their 30s randomly die, apparently of heart attacks but nobody really knows

Fucking 3rd world shithole

:lol why you're still arguing with this guy? He's clearly trolling... nobody is legitimately that dumb

I can vouch for the logging in back in and retarting tbh. Those 2 solutions fix 60% of problems

You might be smart but you don't understand the kind of stupid ppl.that call the help desks. Fucking stupid morons, one guy that called our helpdesk.complained his screen was blank, turns out his pc was off :lol

Disagree. And the thousands of IT companies that are outsourcing to India disagree as well.

You are not understanding. We are talking about cents on the dollar. They are dirt cheap. Who cares if they are dropping dead or wedding multiple ppl??? Just hire someone else and case solved.

Again, better work for less $. The thousands of IT companies outsourcing there all agree with me.

Why Learning To Code Won't Save Your Job
Douglas Rushkoff
03.25.16 5:00 AM

Looking for job security in the knowledge economy? Just learn to code. At least, that’s what we’ve been telling young professionals and mid-career workers alike who want to hack it in the modern workforce—in fact, it’s advice I’ve given myself. And judging by the proliferation of coding schools and bootcamps we’ve seen over the past few years, not a few have eagerly heeded that instruction, thinking they’re shoring up their livelihoods in the process. Unfortunately, many have already learned the hard way that even the best coding chops have their limits. More and more, "learn to code" is looking like bad advice.

Coding Can’t Save You

Anyone competent in languages such as Python, Java, or even Web coding like HTML and CSS, is currently in high demand by businesses that are still just gearing up for the digital marketplace. However, as coding becomes more commonplace, particularly in developing nations like India, we find a lot of that work is being assigned piecemeal by computerized services such as Upwork to low-paid workers in digital sweatshops.

This trend is bound to increase. The better opportunity may be to use your coding skills to develop an app or platform yourself, but this means competing against thousands of others doing the same thing—and in an online marketplace ruled by just about the same power dynamics as the digital music business.

^depressing

I've worked in IT for 25 years and I have to agree with everything Splits has said. Depressing as that may be.

This probably deserves its own thread, but how the fuck does this curry scent follow them? I'm in the Frankfurt airport, about to board to Bangalore, and it fucking stinks at my gate but nowhere else. How? I just don't get it. Do they fucking smuggle that shit up their assholes?

fucking nasty

Thank fucking god for Lufthansa lounge showers. Of course, they don't have deo so you gotta pay $25 for fucking Estée Lauder at the duty free lol

After trying to work with Indian programmers in India, lots of people have stories where the time difference, the language difference, the interaction/friction overhead, and the quality of the Indian code are all serious negatives. Just being Indian doesn't mean you're a great coder.

The profit-obsessed bean counters and stock-price obsessed managers who pushed work to India don't have to deal with all that shit
