    Just so you know that if you get a chance to work with a US company, don't call your female colleagues girls or you'll be singing soprano. The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

      In India, most female-colleagues are referred to as "girl" unless they are 35+. What would the US equivalent be? "Woman" or "Lady" perhaps? Regards, Nish

        In the context he used it "a woman I work with" would be appropriate. Calling a colleage a term reserved for a child is considered demeaning. And never, never refer to the African American dude as a "boy". :rolleyes: The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

          I'm from Bangalore. My company gave two increments already this year and one more is coming up this month. They call it industry averaging. Many people have resigned in the past few months (for more money; mostly less than 3 yrs total exp) and I think HR and Fin divisions are under pressure. What scares me is that recently three/four companies have closed shop saying Bangalore is too expensive. Wait and watch?

          I'm from the UK. My company hasn't given a raise in almost 3 years. Be happy.

            do you know that working middle class is the cow of india... the government milks us (and has been demanding more and more milk recently) and who gets to drink the milk? why ofcourse, the civil servants and the beggars the newspaper is so full of so many scams that i have given up on reading the front page... this anti-corruption guy caught many people... all were let go by govt for lack of evidence (as if 50 crore recovered was not proof enough)... and he retired last week... whole bangalore was lit up... everyone was celebrating the relief. lot of good is happening... but as the money pours in corruption is increasing; not decreasing and everything is damn expensive... and you don't get anything in return for all the taxes... worst case... recently some politician announced that he will give 50 rupees per day to all people in his constituency. that is all ok.. but would you believe if i told you that 5 plasma tvs were distributed for the function organised for the same?
