And this guy is actually our best directory linker. Imagine the issues I have with other staff! :-)
Later.
ha ha ha...i can understand the frustration...on both the ends...i wondering about the poor directory linker...he must be like....what this gori madam doesnt understand anything :P
ReplyDeleteROFL
You keep complaining about India and Indians, but you chose to move there voluntarily in search of a job.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you are frustrated with the country or it's people, why not return to your country?
You know, I've just come down with viral hepatitis, and I'm in bed for the next 15 days. I will be rethinking this idea. If you want to understand why I came here, you'll need to read a rather long post on my other blog: http://american-in-calcutta.blogspot.com/2007/06/india-1976-1977.html
ReplyDeletePretty much explains why I'm here. It was a dream that doesn't seem to be attainable anymore.
oho get well soon...
ReplyDeletework pressures are everywhere and of an different natures...enjoy them
humor is a good way of looking at all the shit in life :P
take a hint learn some hindi and the slightly unhygienic way of living...u will be able to feel more at home then :)
My boss reacts the same way when he has to deal with Polish testers that our company seems to hiring like crazy. Guess you get what you pay for.
ReplyDeletehahaha, that was such a funny chat..I cannot for the life of me understand what it meant..
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA - This gets better. We're still hiring linkers. I had a conversation with one of my Internet Marketing Managers, who BTW, very professional, very astute, detailed-oriented, Indian (There ARE professionals here - once you find them, support them and pay them as well as you can). We were sitting in the conference room and we were discussing the issue of why we can't get decent linkers.
ReplyDeleteHe described a situation where a person had been interviewed by HR, another IM Manager, the VP of Biz Dev, and finally the director of the company. When he finally interviewed the guy (as a courtesy he was told), he was absolutely no good.
"What was the problem?" I asked.
"He couldn't speak English," he said.
I asked, "How did he manage to get through four interviews before you? Did they interview him in English?"
He just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "I didn't think to ask."
"Why would you? It's basically the only requirement we have for hiring linkers."
Oh! Come on Jeanne, don't make fun of that poor linker. These guys never speak English and one more important thing I noticed, Americans never use best English. I found a lot of grammatical mistakes while talking to an American client. Either British use the perfect or Indians.
ReplyDeleteNo, No ! Don't get me wrong. I agree to your words. No problem. I liked your our delhi struggle.com. specially "Dave and Jeanne". I liked the poster.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, for which company you're working?
How did you get viral hepatitis?
ReplyDeletePeople are afraid of living in africa, but i'm beginning to think that there might be more germs in india due to the large population.
Ha ha ha I think you are confused about your criteria on one hand you are saying you need good English to be a good linker and on other hand you are saying this guy is your best linker which means you do not need good English to be a good linker.
ReplyDeleteHe's our best directory linker whose been given templates for every conceivable purpose. Everything has to be explained to him in Hindi. he may be our best linker so far, but he's nowhere near my ideal. The targets have not been achieved by any of linkers yet. We were very successful with the same targets in Kolkata, but here... not even close. :-(
