I personally hope every Executive that made the decision to move operational support to India dies a slow, painful agonizing death.

That seems harsh but I understand where you're coming from. When we lived overseas I wanted to STRANGLE a couple of them. Their egos FAR outstrip their work ethic and Indians seem to think that their culture is superior to all.
That wasn't tre for ALL Indians but, generally, for MOST of them.

They are ALMOST as bad as the Chinese...almost.

if indians were half as good as they themselves they are they would have surpassed china economically a decade ago

Held numerous vid-conf calls w our InfoSys India support personnel. India is a caste culture, occasionally you would have a upper caste working for a lower caste supv. Generally, to the US customer, you didn’t see any problems - bez we were the customer. It was just strange how the back and forth conversation would progress on vid-conf. What I learned in private voice conversations was lower caste supv or mgr would have to sway to needs or wants of upper caste, but lower caste supv/mgr would reposition conversation such that it appeased upper caste employee. In USA culture, it would be called “street cred”

Bottom line, the work got completed or problem solved expeditiously.
