Some Piss offs in the last week or so
Piss off no 1)Me finding the secret appraisal document of my team and finding out what,
One Team Lead has given a rating of 4 ( 4 is considered above average and only 10-15% of people get it) to a gal he is dating (she deserves a rating of 2).
Second team lead who is a marathi has given a rating of 4 to another marathi in his team, who joined the project 3 months back and barely knows anything.

Second team lead who is a marathi has given a rating of 4 to another marathi in his team, who joined the project 3 months back and barely knows anything.
Third team lead who is a tamil, has given a rating of 4 to two of his tamil team mates, out of which one guy totally doesn't deserve it.
And then I have some seniors in project who deserve 4, but are stuck with 3. I feel so bad for them.
I was told that I had performed much above their expectations, expectations that they have from a college passout, and that I was the best among freshers in my project. I have received a performance award, numerous client appreciations, but what do I get --> 3.3..normalised to 3.WTF?Just because I don't belong to their states?
I Have decided to try and not to work with Indians in future, do my MBA from Singapore, and stay away from Indians at work as long as possible.They can mess up even the best of work cultures.Yeah, I am an Indian who is not very fond of Indians.I am sorry.
Mai apni pehle appraisal report pe haath rakh ke kasam khata hoon ki jaan lagadunga magar MBA ke baad Indians ke saath kaam nahi karunga.

Piss off no 2)Maneka Gandhi's allegation that a Muslim police officer had injured 25 of Varun's supporters.The SSP said that the Muslim officer was not even present in Pilibhit on Saturday, having been transferred to Bilaspur to prevent controversy.
I have decided that India is not worth a place coming back to.Life comes just once,I cannot afford to come and waste it in a country where majority are fools and they don't even realise it, so they condition their offsprings to become fools too, and the trend continues.Why else will a country entertain such bastards?
Piss off no 3)Three Rapist Fathers (in India)
What the hell is wrong with our society?Talk about Indian culture, ah?Its time we start importing prostitutes, so that these guys will atleast stop fucking their daughters.
Piss off no 4) IIT classes from Std VII, 6 years before test
WTF?Why are parents in India so obsessed with just one exam - the IIT?Have a look at your dull kid, who does nothing but slog all day, and has specks in class 5, don't you pity him?Its not like, others who go out and play games don't succeed in life.Big Thumbs down to parents who play no role in overall development of their child.

Piss off no 5)Probability that Mayawati might become PM of our country, and then from no where, some people turn out who actually don't see any problem with that.
This is what I called "Adaptation".A typical stage where you are so fed up with the bad things around you that you try to do reasoning with your mind and see good even in bad.Good for you, but what about the whole country?Rather be a critic.

Piss off no 6)Obama's words
This is precisely not the time for cost escalations.
Now, won't this move make the already ailing companies even less competitive compared to their peers in other nations who will continue to ship job overseas and reduce costs?Companies world wide, be it America or Europe or Australia are trying to reduce costs to come out of this difficult times, why would Obama not want to get this basic thing right?Ofcourse you will have opposition from simpletons who just see and hear on TV that their job is going away.
But as a Leader, shouldn't Obama see the larger picture?Atleast he should know whats good for his country in long term.It should have been an established fact by now that if you not reducing your costs, you are not going to survive in a increasingly globalised world.The Job losses then will be much more than now, duh!
As long as their are countries who can provide the same output at much lower costs, it does make sense to shift non-core jobs to that country, doesn't it?After all, aren't you responsible to your millions of investors as well.
What an Irony indeed.You badly want your companies to come back to profit, but you are the one who's standing in its way!!
This is precisely not the time when AIG and others can afford to loose its people.90% Tax on employee bonus?WTF?I can understand 20, 30 or 40, but 90%?
If you are going to take 90% from the bonus, which by the way is a big part of overall compensation, chances are you are not going to attract the creme, but rather loose the ones that you already have.
The companies who did not get the bailout will still pay bonuses to its employees and retain the creme, all the more essential in tough times, whereas the already failing ones which unfortunately had to take Govt money will fail even further because nonprofessionals on the street will now decide its future.
Isn't it sometimes better that we leave it to our parents to decide what is best for us?Like the numerous decisions taken by my mom and dad for me, that I would have previously thought are so crude, but now realise were what was best for me.
As expected Mr.Obama again doesn't get it and makes a populist statement again?This is where I feel Bush was different, the kind of conviction that he had about whats right for the country and whats not, Obama clearly lacks it. Don't you guys feel the same?
Read this somewhere,
Diplomacy is best conducted in secret,media and parliament in democracies tend to confuse the issues with moral considerations and this will lead nations to take irrational positions that did not necessarily further their own interests.
Isn't that line amazing?Doesn't it apply to India as well - at times atleast?

'After all, aren't you responsible to your millions of investors as well.' This is something that applies o India also.
I agree with all, the first one shockingly sad but totally imaginable, in fact I know it's true. We see this happening all the time, we label people according to the region they belong to, and then we make groups. We even vote keeping one of these groups in mind, that is why some people are ready to consider Mayawati as PM, she has Dalits, Brahman and Muslim votes in UP... Aren't we brilliant :(
welcome to office politics on 1. And each rounding of to 3- or 4 indicates the range of bonus one is allocated. it also depends on the budget your boss gets and he is solely responsible for distributing it !
wow! you are so candid about it - i saw this getting regional when i was working in india. high ratinf for cousin sister's son etc etc and office meetings in telugu ..
p. no 4 - jee exam taking practise tests since class 7 -- i read this out to somebody who has taken this exam and he is stumped at reading this --- where is this happening ?
Hmmm... too bad. (shaking my head)
I am not sure of that pt. 4, it starts from the vacation after 8th grade, here in Bangalore.
@IHM..
Yeah exactly. Even in game shows like "Indian Idol". We are indeed brilliant. But I did not expect this from my team lead, I thought he's a nice person. Its so sad.:-(. I worked so hard.
@Anrosh,
Yeah, sad politics, prevents good people from coming ahead..Thats why the decision to try and not work with Indians anymore.They don't deserve me..;-)!
And about IIT, yeah, I read it in TOI, seems the KOTA Guys have decided to do it in places like Delhi etc.People are getting sadder and sadder, I pitty all those kids now
@Indrani,
I am sure of point 4, because I read it in TOI..Its so weird, I had so many friends in college, who dropped out a year or two, but ended up studying in the same college as me, all this for trying IIT.
So sad, so many students end up loosing so many beautiful years of their life,
i once had a conversation from a guy who studied at IIT. He said -- the kids from other colleges know the ways of the world - they have a knack to jump the snakes and climb up the ladders that it takes some time to learn all this once we are out of the campus.
another one who also studied their told me - if the day that you are taking the exam, one does not feel well you might loose some marks and the rank gets lower/might not get through everybody is as good as what they are interested in life to do the best!
Hey! Indian bosses are not that bad. ;) Some are totally unbiased. Bad apples everywhere.
What I hate is talking in their regional language in office when it is strictly against the rules. Poor Americans think that these people are badmouthing them in their language. Can't these people at least talk in English in US and leave their patriotism outside office?
As for Point 4) One of my aunts had reserved a seat in some medical college for her son when he was in Std. 8th. That was before IT boom. Some people never change.
@Anrosh,
Ya, I guess he wanted to say the others are smarter than them in dealing with life.Well, I guess he's right. Those guys are intelligent, no doubt, but there's more to life than solving problems.
@Solilo
Ya, Not all Indian Bosses are bad,and ya Bad apples everywhere,but I guess with Indians it is 75% bad and 25% good, the ratio might be opposite with bosses from other nations I guess. From what I have seen so far is bosses are western countries are so bloody cool, and non fussy.
Lol at talking in regional languages in office.
Oh my god, reserved a seat in medical in class 8th?Thats what I am talking about.Lol. But what is worse is sending them for a coaching from like 6-7 Years before the actual exam?Thats so idiotic!! He can crack NASA's exam in that much time.:-)
Chikki Yes it must have been really terrible. It must have been worse because you had a good opinion of your team lead... But don't let it upset you, hard work never goes waste, I am sure you will find ways to overcome these biases.
@IHM.
It is terrible indeed.What a crap mentality we Indians have.I am still unable to believe this shit!
I am not sure If I will find ways to overcome this, I can't suck up to them.The only way I have found out is to avoid Indians as much as possible in future.
For points 1 to 4 I completely agree with you.For points 5,6 and 7 [as you may be able to predict by now] I cannot agree with you.
