“Do not be scared to get rid of any indians slacking, wasting time, or offering poor quality within the team. Remember, these guys are easily replaceable. They are exactly like soldiers,” it says.
Damn straight! I worked with remote Indian devs and always treated them with respect like any other colleague, in addition to taking extra time to explain the specifics of the project which many of my local coworkers never bothered. It always went well and I had excellent relationships with them.
What if I did this but actually paid them decently more than they would expect in their area and provided nice tools, accommodations, and hours?
I do this. If I have to hire offshore, they’re going to get paid like local royalty. Paid holidays etc. Gotta treat people like people.
Doing that, you’re likely to really help their community.
I hope so. When I’m paid well, I tip well, buy local. Hopefully they trickle the same.
