On Infosys, not from late night shows.
Today Infosys has crossed one billion dollar revenue mark. The company is
being praised all over India for this remarkable achievement. Let us take
some time to closely examine what this company really is and what lies for
it in the future.
Infosys claims to be 'Powered by Intellect and Driven by Values'. In
reality it's intellect is nothing but a bunch of half educated Third World
graduates and values boils down to prostitution. Each year Infosys hires
thousands of graduates from all over India with no educational experience
in computers. Most of them see their first computer in life after joining
Infosys. The average starting salary is around $500 per month. After
joining they go thorough some initial training program and then they are
dumped into offshore projects. Once in project they are forced to work
like donkeys. India does not have any labor protecting law and Infosys
exploits that to the fullest extent. Infosys employees work on an average
of 12 hrs a day and 7 days a week but Infosys never bills the client for
more than 8 hrs a day and 5 days a week. Naturally no one receives any
overtime payment. On an average Infosys employees work for less than 2
dollars an hour. This is less than half the minimum wage in the United
States. Naturally greedy American Corporations love Infosys. This is a new
form of Slavery for them, as it existed in the cotton fields of Southern
States centuries ago.
Now let us consider the values that Infosys boasts so much about. Infosys
cheats its clients at every possible opportunity. Since there is a huge
shortage of experienced professionals in Infosys, it assigns one
experienced consultant to an average of three to four projects and
allocates inexperienced trainees for most of the work. Most of the time
Infosys bills the client 8 hours a day for all the projects. This way
Infosys bills the client 32 hours even though the consultant actually has
worked for 12 hours. This practice is as unethical as prostitution.
Infosys delivered code is always infested with bugs and sometimes Infosys
delivered screen freezes after the transaction is submitted. One might
wonder why client tolerates such performance. The truth is all client
project managers hate Infosys but they have to keep their mouth shut since
company CEO thinks Infosys is saving them lots of money. In absolute
dollar term Infosys does save money but if one brings into calculation the
productivity loss due to faulty software, Infosys does more damage than
the money saved in development. Unfortunately CEOs are so blind by their
greed, they fail to observe.
Abraham Lincoln once said 'You can fool some people all time and all
people some time but you can never fool all people all time'. This applies
very much to the future of Infosys. It has been successfully able to fool
investors, clients and media for some time by showing its huge campuses,
golf course etc but the truth has started to come to light at last.
Outsourcing has become the most important political issue in the United
States and the jobless recovery has made outsourcing the major target of
attack. In Australia Infosys has been recently forced to drastically cut
back its outsourcing plan in Telestra account due to political pressure.
Similar trend is expected to repeat in the United States. Some of Infosys
clients like Morgan Stanley has started cutting back on outsourcing due to
poor quality of delivery. The rise of Indian Rupee against US dollar has
already reduced Infosys operating margin by around 10 percent over a
period of one year. This trend is expected to continue and as the cost of
living in India goes up, outsourcing will loose its attraction.

I didn't know outsourcing has taken Late Night shows' headlines until recently.
Dave: Today, we have a special show for you, this show is written by writers outsourced to India.
Jay Leno: Today, the oldest man in the world retired from work. He was 105 years old. Actually, word is that he was fired because the company outsourced the job to a 104 year old guy in India.
Jay Leno: Some of the tele-marketers that are jail inmates (for real), paid 11 cents an hour are replaced by outsourced jail inmates in India for 7 cents an hour.
One more un-outsourcing joke:
Headline: Osama Bin Laden changed his name to Omarosa Bin Laden to be more evil. (note: Omarosa was the most annoying contestant on "Apprentice").
