Look at the "outsourcing" in Singapore. The complete action or
process of acquiring or obtaining personnel, materiel, services, or
property They bring in many sub-par foreigners to fill up
positions, secure IT projects ect. While the the credentials and
skills qualifications of these people are at best of questionable
legality, the fast huge money earned through supplier - middlemen
as aspects of the hiring, procurement ect process
"changes hands" .
Booze and Shmooze a senior manager / executive who works for a
client. Buy him if you can by offering a cut from the total
billing. After all he may not be getting paid enough to buy the
next diamond ring for his wife or new car for his teenage
son.
Get a PO signed for 25 people who will be working on your project.
Make sure that PO allows you to collect partial payments as you
make partial deliverables or with time.
Hire 5 mid-senior level engineers. Hire 20 fresh college graduates
who are desperately looking for their first break. Have them sign a
2 year bond so that they cannot leave you.
Have the 5 work their butts off to see if they can deliver a crappy
yet functional solution. Have the other 20 do menial tasks or use
the same 20 for some other project as well. After all these 20s are
the ones who will be generating more profit than anyone else.
Once the crappy solution is ready, collect all the funds on
PO.
Any bugs, performance complaints etc. should be treated as
enhancements and a separate PO should be generated for that.
Start all over again with a new PO and even a new manager. You will
be a multi-millionaire if not billionare in a very short time.
A rather disgusting offshore outsourcing model which is
nothing more than a "money - flow" process to add on to the GDP
This is the situation we have in singapore today, someone bags a
"contract" and then offloads the burden to the next one down the
line. the cycle keeps continuing with each party earning profit
and the end of the line they just call it quits. While the
foreign worker earns some petty cash through low wages at the
expense of the citizens' rice bowl . Thats free market for u
, my frens.
Now the govt is wondering why productivity dropped?
