I am the MD of a MNC and I find the above views interesting, here are my comments...
Aditya84tiwari and 28677...... , I assume you are working for a Lala/MNC, therefore why are you not working for what you are paid for, instead of compiling entertainment files and wasting precious resource (time) on the internet. If, on the other hand you do not work for such an organisation, then perhaps you should. However, I suspect that with your attitude to the hand that ensures you are fed, a position would not be offered.
I find some of the comments downright insulting and if this is what my staff feel then I would be happy to accept their resignations with immediate effect. So that you are aware, I am of Indian origin, I have no family or ties to India, therefore, I am a foreigner, whilst I do not have white skin, and I only speak English with a Non- Indian accent. I was not born with a silver spoon, indeed I was accepted by the UK as a refugee from Africa, with only the clothes on my back.
I have worked really hard to build the company (and continue to do so), risked my own money and NEVER paid a bribe, (or received one), even in India. To reap thousand times profit, as you suggest, only happens when you deal with corrupt INDIAN politicians. Like most companies, we have and implement strictly, our policy “Dignity at Work”, where NO-ONE is allowed to Abuse, or treated as a slave. When we do have issues regarding maltreatment or abuse, in every case this was carried out by a local Indian, does that not say something?
Pay is decided on merit and productivity only. Bonus is paid according to company profits, because everyone contributes even the watchman. Yes, we do operate a 360 degree assessment tool, what is wrong with that, particularly as the decision is not down to just one person. Before you try to rant about profits, please note that profits are not repatriated to foreign countries, because of the various tax regimes, rather they are re-invested in India.
So what if my White skinned senior management make decisions and don’t come and personally discuss these with you but rather filter down the relevant information to the relevant staff. (By the way, please check for yourself the abnormally large number of MD’s; Chairmen; CEO’s, etc., who are local Indians). If you report to a number of managers, you are giving them differing bits of information, which they need. You really do need to understand company organisational structures. If we have a very small training/learning budget, that is because we employ the best talent, we are not a school where we pay students to attend.
Get one thing clear, we do NOT depend on India’s low cost of production, our costs are dictated by market forces such as minimum wage set by your government. Neither, do we depend on India’s vast population and consumption, in fact we serve that same population and consumption, which home grown companies are unable (or unwilling) to. If our products are not required, the population will not buy, it really is quite easy to understand, if you try.
Yes, the Western world is in economic crisis and India is not. Have you ever considered why? It is because India did not have the ability to invest in financial products that turned out to be toxic, even though it had the inclination to.
MNC’s play a vital role in the Indian economy take a lead in improving business culture; provide hundreds and thousands of much needed jobs as the migration from rural to urban jobs increases. Uplift India’s international economic image whilst managing the corrupt Indian politicians’ image.
By the way MNC’s are not all foreign owned, have you heard of Tata, Ambani, Mittal ?
So, please don’t knock MNC’s, instead you should be proud of them and if you are talented enough come and work for them. Jai Hind !
