Convert the Malaysians shells employee payroll to Indian employees payrol. Let's c whether it's racist or business. The Malaysian employees would probably resign automatically. It's all about the business. Shared services center is all about cost saving. That's the reason they do it in cyber in the first place until they decided during this oil crisis that Indians could probably do the same job with lower operations cost than Malaysia. Sad but true that we have to constantly improve our value especially those in IT line becos India is stealing your rice bowl.

Doesn't matter for them. They can hire 2 in Bangalore for rm6000 with still the same rm60000 manager managing them.

Don't come back telling me they need to fire the manager away so they could hire 20 ppl to do the managers job.

Management ppl always get paid higher than operations ppl no matter they work or Facebook all the time. Have to accept the fact. How to avoid? Set up our own company or be that manager.

Only IT would be moving out. Other shared service departments still there. You cant trust those in Bangalore to do your financials.

So what do u expect. Cut managers and hire those from Bangalore to manage Malaysian resource?

Those who make decision also need to keep their rice bowl. Shell management is in Netherlands surely they speak, meet and decide within their own people.

Mind you, shell malaysia do have alot of IT managers with high pay too. They are cutting them as well.

Its all about the business. Blame India for being so cheap until they wouldn't mind comprise some quality (at least for now)
