Fact of the matter : Part 2
by Proud Indian on May 01, 2008 03:23 PM

A few facts:
1)A few so-called MBA institutes are a sham. Their grads are so dumb about the reality of market that I can say I was almost phycially sick.
2) An MBA is a finishing degree. It is supposed to make you street smart and fleet footed. In some MBA institutes, MBAs are taught like high school - mug it up, theoretical projects and vomit theoretical understanding and concepts on exam papers!
3) Most Indian companies are unwilling to take risks with adequately manpower at right levels. they want software engineers to write codev that a 8th grader would laugh at. In some manufacturing companies they use engineers to wrok on lathes.
If MNC's could have their way they would hire graduates to clean floors. In India a graduate costs pennies compared to what an person with IQ of 50 would cost in the US/ UK. So if you can get a person with some intelligence to do a menial task, why increase risk and hire a lower grade person?
At the end of the day, all workers must realize that at top managment level, people are called 'resources' and are counted alongside other resources like raw material, telecom equpment, computers. Thats what all employees are - resources. Completely replacable, having a cost, and something that must give an ROI.

Solution : join small companies where you are closer to top managment and your worth and hard work is recognized.
