Ok, so you want a more recent example?
It's called Gurgaon. Nothing good has come from it. Even higher ups have told us at infoshares that "yes, Gurgaon was kind of a mistake but we made our bed and now we need to sleep in it". Doesn't sound like a winning attitude to me! Cut your losses, cut your losses! To do otherwise is to invite disaster. And if you don't think Gurgaon was a mistake just look at the mountains of rework my team has had to do because the Gurgaon developers are too lazy to do it right the first time. Seriously, we send something over there and more often than not it comes back half complete!
And as for looking for a new gig... that's the plan, Stan. Being at this firm longer than a year is a serious mistake considering that leadership has made clear their position that they don't give a rat's behind about associate morale. A great work environment this place used to be. A great work environment it ain't.
So British2, go back to your head-nodding and keep spouting those Hewittisms leadership feeds you. By your defensive reply I can only assume that you are in a managerial role, which means you'll be in the crosshairs sooner than me when the next round of layoffs comes. Cheers! |

Do you really think that outsourcing to India is a "strategic blunder" that smacks of "gross incompetence" !? I know it's horrible to see colleagues' jobs go abroad, but when virtually every single other major HR company/operation is doing this to cut costs then I don't think it deserves your exaggerated condemnation. Come on, let's have a proper example; something less vague that you would not have been able to pick up from this board...
What's also odd is how in your first post you claim to have been here "a very short time" yet in your latest you write "A great work environment this place used to be" as though you are basking in pe-IPO nostalgia. I think you have absorbed this nostalgia (like Sageo) from this board and (like Sageo) are using it to stir up crap/get attention.
What's even odder is how you accuse me of spouting Hewittisms and head-nodding when I quite deliberately refrained from writing ANYTHING like that at all! I am not a manager, and I do think that Hewitt has its fair share of problems.
Go on, look back at my post, and you'll see you've completely mis-read it. If that's how good you are at reading then I sure as hell feel sorry for these Indians you work with whose output you denounce as --apparantly!-- being substandard!
I know things may not be going well for you- perhaps life isn't turning out quite how you expected- but I suggest that you work on your own attitude and skills. Regurgitating others' complaints from the Vault is NOT the answer.
