Dear colleague, thanks for your feedback. I am glad you enjoy the learning opportunities, the salary, the term insurance and the fact we keep trying out new processes to improve. I am particularly glad you approve of me personally, of course! :-)
Building a central allocation engine has been a massive effort in order for us to be a truly global company, rather than a string of local companies. We needed this to be able to collaborate seamlessly and with agility across the globe even for small projects. For this, we have needed to categorize people by skillsets, change the way projects request people, change the way people are offered projects, etc. This is an example of us trying new processes to improve. I take your feedback but let me just say we are working on this all the time and nearly 4-5 new ways of connecting people to projects are in the pipeline, one was rolled out recently, and you can figure out from a recent Yammer post about the outline of yet another. So it's work in progress, and it's accelerating.
I'm really surprised someone asks you to add on traveling hours in WFH hours. That is certainly not company policy. The HR you complain about would kill the manager who asks for this :-) Behind the scenes, HR is very protective of Nagarrians' welfare. I wish you could see what goes on in our meetings.
The cuts due to Covid are being rolled back one by one. Our job was to see the company safely through this period. When you drive on a mountain road on a foggy night, you try to stay as far away from the edge as possible. That's what we were doing. Thank you for hanging by us. 2020 has been a tough year for everyone. We, in this industry, are the very lucky ones.
