: Pandit Ji! I'm aware of these practices and these are very common.
: The Bay Area [in California] is full of these. I would say roughly
: 2/3 of them are frauds to learn and to earn at the cost of local
: company and other employess and contractors like me! I had noticed
: this at [name of company] and quite a few other work places. I
: have personally interviewed and also worked with them in a team.
:
: I'll share with you my personal experience right here in the Bay
: Area about 5 years ago. My boss went to India with another Indian
: local permanent employee. After screening quite a few resumes they
: interviewed about 20 candidates for 4-8 positions and selected 6
: of them. My boss came back to the US believing these contractors
: will be coming to the US within 6 weeks but after 2 months of
: excuses from India my boss HAD to accept 6 other not-known Indian
: contractors who knew very little or nothing at all about the
: project. In the same company, other projects had several other
: Indian contractors who created their OWN subproject to develop
: some tool and this new product was sold to this US company by an
: Indian supplier -- what a bunch of thieves!
:
: Locals are more expensive but you know very well what you are
: getting into. Don't forget that you get what you for! Now I just
: stay away from them!
:
: Please feel free to forward this message to any newsgroups but CC:
: to me also.
:
: with regards and best wishes :)
