The level of clownshow that my wife's work has become is impressive. She is in the final rounds of interviews for someplace else but it's just amazing. It has been 18 months since an Indian VP was brought onboard for the manufacturing engineering part of the company.

He immediately fired several long term directors and replaced them with Indians. He then brought a massive amount of IBM pajeet contractors onboard to "fill necessary gaps." Then he fired several longterm principal engineers who were primarily responsible for the state of affairs in the past 8 years. Whatever their faults the manufacturing systems did work and they brought several more factories online with the solutions they provided. They were replaced with IBM contractors. My wife's team had their production access pulled and were removed from all of the main engineering efforts. Those all went to IBM contractors (lol).

In typical fashion the IBM contractors are quick to take credit and even quicker to throw blame on everyone but themselves. Last week they deployed something to production that brought one of the factories down. Factory is still down and they cannot make anything right now. Their main strategy has been to blame the FTEs of course even though the FTE engineers all expressed concerns about the efficacy of what they were doing the whole time.

Pajeet VP is supporting the contractors over the FTEs and trying to wiggle out of the situation. As they all do.

It's all so tiresome.

Im ignorant. What does IBM mean in this context?

That's probably true to an extent. I just know whenever I get tagged in a ticket and add a comment they immediately assign it to me to take it off their plate. Even if it's not remotely my issue.

I feel your pain there. I hate that shit. They ask for a comment on something that I may know about. I give it my best guess or who may know more? Immediately it must be me who has to fix it.

Can you expound? How would the caste system affect accountability? Unless you’re suggesting it’s just higher caste using lower caste as scapegoats? And then I’m not sure how that ends up with an Indian contractor throwing an American FTE under the bus.

People from mid-higher castes in India have learned behaviors deeply engrained in them by society and their families. That's how most "bloodline" hierarchical systems are.

If you are around a lot of Indians the lower caste Indians will often talk about this. Even removed from India for 20+ years castes can be recognized by the style of the name. Even if they are from different parts of India and do not share the same language. For example most Indians in Austin and Texas in general are from Andra Pradesh. So they all speak Telugu. Indians from Jharkand/Calcutta are the ones that can actually speak Hindi.

Because of this higher caste will immediately shit on lower caste when they recognize eachother. Unsurprisingly lower caste are the quickest to abandon the system entirely upon coming to America. How this plays out in corporate America is a layer of typical office politicking.

As for the take credit and blame shit they do I just attribute this to their general shit culture. There is a reason Western culture is superior. We value honesty a great deal. Its kind a hard concept to grasp but to Indians scamming or lying to someone and they believe you means you are clever. Not that you are a lying asshole.

It was very eye opening to me that my Indian neighbor thought the resume system was lol. Because you can just lie on it and employers believe you. In India your resume is tied to a national record system and your Indian SSN. Only your employers can add or edit it by request. So you cant lie on resumes and getting bad marks from employers is legitimately a bad thing.

Had it out with our pajeet hire. He is coming up on 90 days in a senior SWE position. Yet he requires step by step instruction on basic bitch things like configuring a connection for some tool. It took him 3 days to do this and he was just saying he was "blocked" on configuring a commercial SWE tool. He has a significant lack of comprehension on basic problem solving and will not proceed with anything without handholding on every single step.

I told him he will not succeed here if this is the level of micromanaging he requires. He is expected to problem solve and figure things out on his own. He claims to have got it.

Doubt. Looking like this will be the 4th person I have had to terminate in my career.

You should be looking to find the quickest way to fire him, period. Indians are the enemy

I didn't even want to hire him in the first place. I lost that argument with leadership already.

Is it worth it to put Pakistanis in management to get out the Pajeets, or does that create the equivalent of a Hawaiian mongoose problem?

The Pakistanis are gonna replace the Indians anyway. They already are in India. But uhh... how does that help us?

Any hiring manager who is actively helping dismantle the American workforce is a fucking Benedict Arnold

A single H1B Visa holder is somehow able to bring in a spouse, maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, cousins and their families.

I do not know how they do this exactly but I have multiple examples of this on my street in Austin. An H1B spouse is also able to work despite not holding a H1B visa on their own.

Every plane that comes in from India to my airport is about half super elderly indians. It's almost comical to see over a 100 wheelchairs line up to go through customs with every flight. There's 2 flights a day at my airport, so I'd soft estimate around 100k elderly indians come into the US per year at my airport alone.

Oh hell yes bros.

One of our software development team managers, who doesn't understand software at all, has begun "vibe coding".

First order of business? Ask copilot about a null exception handler, let it "fix it", and create a PR directly to get pushed into main. This idiot doesn't have any local or dev builds and has done no testing whatsoever. And he's an approver! And he's bragging about it and patting himself on the back in google chats. This is gonna be so good.

"This is what it gave me! Let's see if it works! Fingers crossed!" - actual comment in his PR.
