The good, the bad and the ugly…

In general, if one look at the hindsight, Satyam offered the best of fringe benefit. They have online help, they have cafeteria, they have pc’s for everyone. These are some of the things that we rarely look at and appreciate. And I appreciate it.

On the other hand, there is the bad and ugly side of thing, as well. Let’s start with the good things.

The good.

Every now and then, things like FUN@Work initiatives or futsal tournament that keeps popping up. These events commemorate special events of the year, or just intended to promote “The Satyamite” one-ness.

The bad and the ugly.

These things actually hide the fact some of these fellows associates have too much time on their hand. Why, you may ask? Satyam hires too much people, because it is their business policy. You know,just in case they have a project to offer to customer, they can say, we have these much people ready to work on the project. But, they are people that have been on the bench for the entire time they are on the ELTP. What gives?

The good.

Due to the salary satyam pays the ELTP fellas, they can afford to buy cars. No one else in the industry pay this much for entry level, except for oil and gas, off course. (You may correct me if I am wrong)

The bad.

Parking space, I mean free ones, are not available for all 700+ associates here. Some have to park outside, at the risk of being fined or their car towed.

The ugly.

The reserve spaces are supposed to be for the bosses, but how come other “closely connected” also got parking. For front desk people? For HR? For front desk people boyfriend?

The good.

Satyamites are required to travel to other countries, if the client requires so. OR Satyam requires so.

The bad.

How come Malaysian associates when travel to India got pay little, not as comparable as their associates in India? Shouldn’t the HR thinks about cost of relocation?

The ugly.

Indian associates who come here have bigger pay compared to local who has similar pay grade, as their pay in India is high. When they come here, they never scale down the pay, which is fine. But, the thing is, when we import expat, we expect them to be better, isn’t it? But I heard rumors that some of them are useless fuckers, so the fact that they are here are a waste and insulting to local people.

….More to come, fellas.
