I think you hit the nail on the head, Julie. I think a lot of webmasters do resent the loss of jobs to Indians.
|
mostly due to the currency bit..
one dollar is equal to almost 45 rupees...
another thing is,
India, as a country, is moving towards tech only in the last 4-5 years. before that it was all doctors, lawyers, engineers etc...
now, IT=quick money.
lack of knowledgable people has made the companies to offer perks, incentives etc.
so if one joins a biig company and stays there for 2 yrs, his future is almost settled and he neednt have to worry much.
because of this and because of the huge "publicity stunt", you see people from the villages and small towns joining this bandwagon in search of quick money.
establised and experienced it people = lots of money.
whereas if u take these people = more work and less money.
and here people place a lot, i mean a lot, of importance on education. so almost everyone spends the better part of their teenage years working their butts off to get a good grade.
some think outside the box..(small %)
majority are one way horses.
they know only couple of things and thats what they do... risk taking ability is almost non existent.
Take Wipro for example, they were saying business was not good and analysts were predicting lesser revenues.. but after they released their figures, it has infact beat all expectation..
how? employ cheap labour.
if one leaves there are 2 to take that place..
and remember, atleast 70% of the population are technologically less aware and ignorant when you compare them to people in US or UK.
hence the scenario (like this blog ban stuff).
you can only fill a cup to a certain level and after that it will start to spill...
likewise, it is only a matter of time before this trend stops.
companies in US, UK etc can only outsource the jobs as long as it doesnt affect the economy much.
the moment that happens, the govt will step in and stop it inorder for the local talent to flourish...
