if an asian in australia hire the whole IT dept of asians, there
will be revolt and will be splashed across the news media.
this however, showed just how the mom and the govt willing to
get the general population to bend over for the sake of fts.
i have malay IT ex-colleagues and till this day, worked for more
than 8 years in the same position in *CS at the same position. why
cant they trained and promoted to take on better roles, instead of
balantly call in indian/PRC/china FTs to hold on better
positions?
one of the govt site that my GM used to run, had this indian FT
tasked to monitor the entire enterprise backup system. everyday
told my GM that the backup jobs where ok, but there was a crash
with one of the mission critical servers and need urgent recovery.
the FT couldnt do it.. and my GM found out that the backups had
failed consistently for the past 3 months!
their certification and training, according to my ex-indian IT
colleague, are received in school compound with a trainer using an
overhead projector to teach to a mass of 500-1000+ students at a
fee of $100 per head. after which, they are presented a cert called
"certified in java programming, or plsql programming"!
i knew some foreign directors that are clueless on what
core IT system are all about in SG. coz i presented to them
before!
Not all these FTs are that great.
I know because I am in this field. but the hirer is the boss who
can also be from the indiaon ocean. they dictate who to hire .
Mismanaged, u will see 90:10.
I work for a boss who is from indian ocean.
I suppose to report under him.
Here is the treatment I am getting:
1. all his indian ocean team gets reasonably new models of
notebooks. somehow, for me, I get a worn out machine. full of weird
noises from this machine. why? I asked for change and report the
problem. Nothing done. the battery life is 5 mins.
2. I am one of the rare locals in the team. suppose to report
under him, he does not talk to me and place me under 2 similar or
lower ranked staff from the indian ocean to give me work to do.
They order me around like hand pointing to me asking me to go over
whenever they have things for me to do. Usually, asking me do
testing.
3. They never talk to me from the start and distance from me not
asking me to go lunch with them.
I see that i have no future in this company : the boss , his
assistant mgrs, his team all from the indian ocean.
no chance to climb. difficult at best. bias.
hk liao.
4. I tested and found a critical technical design
issue in the solution developed by the indian ocean sub-con
implementing the project. My boss works for our company who
engage the consultants. I raised it and immediately the boss
said they are not wrong. The problem was raised several months back
also by someother tester. Nothing was done. Their design is flawed
but can still pass the testing. In the long run , the maintenance
team who takes over will suffer.
I am a porean working in the indian ocea
n but residing in the pore.
