more con do NS for nothing

rk for it ie it has outhouse staff (people like me) and inhouse staff directly employed by the bank. The sick part is that almost all those being recruited are foreigners. Oh the irony of it...but then what can you expect when the current CEO is a foreigner.
For those who doubt the stories here bout the influx of foreign IT workers...especially those from India, its easy...just go to Shenton Way during lunch time and observe those people taking their lunch or on their smoking break outside the buildings... That alone will be enough to open your eyes.
How do these foreign IT people keep getting the jobs? Its easy. They are recruited by the Agencies...work for a few years (to get experience etc etc) and when their time is up, they might either return home or move on to western countries or hop over to another mnc here offering better pay or position. Their place in the old company will then be taken over by another of their countryman (friends, classmates etc) possibly introduced to the agency by these people themselves and the cycle goes on and on.
Like the other writers, not saying that all of them are bad but this is the sad truth. For example - when you have 1 or 2 pinoys in your section or company, its not that bad. They are from our region and can chat or talk cock etc. However, once the barrier has been penetrated and more and more of them join you...it changes. Should 1 of these pinoys get into a supervisory or managerial position then beware fellow sinkies...as a few others sinkies have observed..they put in more of their countrymen and you're left in the lurch.
A true story - my ex colleague left to join an american bank here doing IT. Worked shifts, was the Shift Supervisor. A few Sinkies and some pinoys n indians. He was recently let go. Told me that initially the pinoys were friendly with the sinkies there but once their group was larger, every decision he made as a Supervisor was challenged by the pinoy group who would go to his manager to question the decisions made by him. But these same group will accept any decisions without dissent when its made by a fellow pinoy supervisor.
As for the Indians IT. Same goes. I find its the north indian chaps and ladies who are pretty arrogant probably because most of them are of the brahmin caste and look down on us as their inferiors. Another pal told me that they are the ones we have to keep an eye on as they are the group most likely to take up citizenship and stay here and breed more of their 'we are superior to you coz we're brahmins' types.
As for the PRCS - I think I don't have to spell out. Everyone knows
