What happened to NIIT?

Ajeeb-O-Gareeb top management, I mean the board of directors of the EM-EN-CEE itself not the strange automatons that pretend to run the India setup, have decided to relocate certain jobs to Asia Pac (read China and India).

OT - Did I ever tell you folks about their (the Resident NRIs) buzzwords of the week trick? This week it's Low-hanging fruits, focus on core strengths, un-diversify, golden times, exponential growth, leadership capabilities, and so on ;-) End of OT.

So we are in this "end-of-an-era" mode, and with 15 Aug around, it sure feels like Brits leaving India in the hands of Nehru and chamchas at the stroke of midnight. Bad analogy but never mind. I am so unsure of the local managers - you can fool your bosses but you cannot CANNOT fool your juniors / peers. Or maybe they have some magical powers that are invisible to mere minions, such as me?!

So you wonder where is NIIT in all of this? Here it is: We are hiring like there is no tomorrow. We gotta RAMP up and get work, processes, systems, and ALL transitioned in ~8 months. So the bosses do their own figuring out - they see us 5/7 writers are exNIITians so lets get people from there. POACHY Times ahead!!! We scan MANY MANY MANY resumes and somehow out of the ones that make it to the top of the miserable pile, some 40% are NIITians. Who might I add are ALL team leaders or higher who manage writers and do planning and other mumbo-jumbo. This is all in response to an ad for a JUNIOR TECHNICAL WRITER!! What happened? Since when does writer mean someone who can do EVERYTHING, such as planning, reviews, construction, editing, following processes..., but not NOT write!! The way NIIT of yore followed processes was a learning (unlearning in my case though) in itself! But these new fachchas are all like zombies who can't even write properly. And the cookie-cutter resumes YUCK!!! They are all trained in Edit levels 0 thru zillion and they score 2/20 on a plain editing test on which my 15 year-old-neighbor scored 20/20!!!!

I really feel like telling these liars that I was there when they start their unrehearsed, boring, lying, story.

My point in all this - what happened to the place? They are churning out IDIOTS. The fact that the industry depends on them to train (EVIL GRIN) talent is secondary, what baffles me is that how the heck are they running their business with these dimwits?!

I actually feel like a Mensa level person when I deal with such people!!! And then there are their idaes of being called SENIOR writers/leads!!!
