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. |

Yes it is. It makes me feel better about having to trek 1 1/2 hours each way every day just to come to this hell hole.
I may not have as much of a right to piss and moan as someone from the old guard but I'm still going to do it because it makes me feel better about all the "perks" they used to lure me on that are no longer there. This place is a textbook example of a dysfunctional company and I'm not going to beat around the bush about it. Hell, even people coming from draconian environments like Grainger have mentioned how bad it is here.
Now I'm not saying that it's all happiness and sunshine at every other big corporation, but at least have the balls to call a spade a spade and quit trying to sell it as the "old Hewitt" to all your new hires.
Out.
