Stop Offshoring
Friday, February 20, 2004
At work, we had a deadline to complete development on a phase of the project today. At our status meeting, each developer went over his or her progress. I had completed my assignments. However, each Indian developer in the room gave one excuse after another regarding why they hadn't met the deadline. Pathetic! Out of nine developers, only myself and one other developer was on schedule. And the company isn't paying the H1Bs less than the market rate for other developers. Why do we want them around?

Sigh... I've been too busy with work to give this blog the attention it deserves. Our company just hired another Indian H1-B contractor to help out with the project. It remains to be seen if he's any better than the others already foundering on the project.
