Are we living at the mercy of their profit?
Recent media hype over BPO industry says IT Act of India should be mabe more stringent. The reason is recent Data theft happened in BPO.
And there are couple of business magazines echoed this sentiment.
Nothing different in these kind of propaganda but the thing is, what they didn't tell, What they didn't Echoed, that makes us to criticise them.
Now a days there are wide spread crtiticism about the treatment of BPO employees. Whenever these criticism araise the above biased media would say that BPO employee are very happy.
But now a problem comes for companies they are the first to criticise and forewarn.
That is one part of the story the other part is the continuation of my recent article about jobs flying out of India. The data theft-IT Act propagande plays a vital role here also.
A recent survey by Forrester says jobs are flying out of India due to the following reasons in their own words(Business India - 12 July 2006).
"Concerns arising out of recent information security breach at HSBC's India centre coupled with high attrition rates and staffing costs could take a toll on the BPO industry, slowing down the growth to between 28 and 30 per cent in the next 12 months, warns a report by Forrester Research. "
The role of attrition rate and high cost are understandable and that is what I mentioned in my previous articles. And based on that only I asked IT employees to organize themself before the ball run out of their court.
But the inclusion of 'Secutiry concern' is a trick.
By including this, they just wanted to make sure the employee feel the guilty of himself(the data theft) for jobs flying out of India.
By creating this public opinion they can somehow reduce the crticism that they fly out of India only because to earn more profit.
By creating this public opinion they can make Employee take responsibility for their job loss(job loss of future, It is not happening now) by blaming himself for job loss.
Though they never share their profit with us, they are willing share their guilty with us.
The data theft- security concern is not the major reason for their shift from India. This is eveident from my previous article.
But there are words in Forrester report itself:
"however, points out that instance of data leakage leading to account theft is a `universal phenomenon' and that security is often much greater at IT and BPO facilities in India than at vendor or user facilities in the US and the UK."
Then wheat is the real reason for flying out of India....?It is nothing but more Profit....
And the same report says Maintenance and Developement outsourcing is going to increase. But those people will also fly away from here one fine day.
Dudes...we are not manufacuring/Servicing any software. Indeed we manufacturing/Servicing Capital(Money) for our employer.
May be your productivity increases to produce more software but if you fail to increase your productivity to produce more Capital(Money), They would sure run away from you.
Still sleaping?? Awake....
Are we living for their profit?
Are we living at the mercy of their profit?
