Culture

Well as I've mentioned before I was almost outsourced. By almost I mean that we were. I got the letter saying our jobs have been made redundant. Actually it said that they have found duplicate resources. Then 2nd quarter when we were suposed to be laid off they relized that they needed onsight personel for our job and that it couldn't be transitioned 100% offshore. So 4 of us kept our jobs. Thankfully most of the employees already left for other positions but there were a couple that were still laid off. Anyway a story for another day. Culture was the title and thats what Im going to talk about tonight.

We were picked up by an Indian company. Obviously not American Indian. Everyone I have meet has been very nice and we have very few issues. We all notice the culture changes. The head moving side to side almost like no (this means yes), the "do the needfull"'s, the fact that 90% of them out vegitarians, and the most anoying thing of all.........The lack of the same since of time.

I have tried very hard to adapt to the differences. The fact that they seam to refuse to read a document because if they have to look at it someone might think you don't know what to do and think your dumb. Even though some how it is ok to ask the same question 40 times knowing that there is a document that says exactly what I'm going to tell you because I made the document...

Anyway back to culture, It is almost like looking into the past of America. Back when we all lived with our families, I mean generations. Grandma, mom & Dad, Wife and Son... Wait when was that? Never? It just different... Not that it weired or anythign just different. Seams odd from this angle I guess. There are a lot of neat things, the Saree's are cool neat way to dress.. the fact that family is the most important thing to all fo them is awsome.. So is mine. The fact that there are 3 million of them fresh out of college all eager to work for little to no money unable to do anything else because there government is so currupt it makes ours look like a saint.

Ok Im done.. way to finish right......
