Also how little tech workers in India care about what they do.
This isn't a racial observation - Indians outside India are just as conscientious as Asians or Europeans are and are not included in this observation. Rather it's a cultural observation that's probably come about as a result of the outsourcing culture and lack of advancement opportunities that comes along with it.

- rootusrootus 4y agoI've observed that as well, with our local Indian developers as compared with the ones in India itself. The effort to come to the US acts as a filter. I've seen the same kind of filter with regards to Mexico. Go to Mexico and they operate on "Mexican Time" (their words, not mine). But when it comes to manual labor in the US, who works the hardest? Mexicans, almost every time. The difference in motivation is stark.
