U.S. Techies Working At Overseas
Salaries?

U.S. Techies Working At Overseas
Salaries? 12/03/2003 02:39 PM
The issue of tech companies offshoring programming work is certainly a contentious one, and Business Week has an article talking about how one company dealt with the dilemma of saving 50% on salaries (vs. the standard asking price) by outsourcing to India or, instead, offering much lower salaries to American workers. The company found that they were flooded with resumes for the low paying job - many of which turned out to be high quality programmers. The company hired four programmers at the lower wages, and used them for the one project. Two of the programmers were eventually hired on as full-time employees at regular salaries. Of course, this sort of thing only works while the job market is weak, but does suggest that the market is correcting somewhat for boom-time salaries that were out of proportion with reality. Still, I take issue with the "obvious" choice, as described in the article, of going with cheaper overseas workers. I think that the benefits of having local, on-site staff who you can communicate with directly is quite valuable - often in excess of the amount of money "saved" in offshore salaries. In this case, the employer only valued the location at $5,000/year - which is much less than it's probably worth. The risk in offering salaries that are so low is that you may get lower quality workers who are much more likely to jump ship. However, in this case, it's clear that the employer realized this, and appears to have made his reasons clear to the employees - and, in fact, adjusted the salaries well upwards for the employees he wanted to keep. This all brings to mind the whole concept of "professional internships" that seem to become popular when the economy is down. People who want to convince a potential employer of their worth sometimes agree to unpaid (or barely paid) "internships" to convince the company that they're worth hiring.

Are the Tyco executives criminals?

Are the Tyco executives criminals? 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

The Tyco CEO and CFO are in the news right now after a mistrial (st ory).  Allegedly they looted $600 million from the company.  This sounds bad but if you look at this profile of Tyco, the $600 mil is less than the most recent quarter's income of $720 million and only about 1% of the company's market value of $58 billion.  Let's compare that to some other looters in the news:

• Richard Grasso took $200 million or so that he took from the New York Stock Exchange, a non-profit org.  Grasso's haul is roughly comparable to ten years of profits for the NYSE.  Grasso got his looting approved by his friends on the Board and therefore won't face criminal prosecution though the NY State attorney general is trying to force him to repay some of his booty.
• Jack Welch, in his autobiography, talks about having transferred 30 percent of General Electric from the investors into the hands of "employees" (the lions share to himself and a few other top guys presumably).
• William T. Esrey and Ronald LeMay looted $311 million in one year alone from Sprint, about half of the company's profits in a good year.  They were not prosecuted for their looting but the IRS became upset with their scheme to avoid paying any taxes on this income.

From the very fact of their prosecution we can infer that the Tyco guys did not dot their i's and cross their t's as effectively as the average corporate looter but is there any evidence that their looting was above average?
