How the hell does management get work done then? They fired all their devs to bring over these people, then if what you paint is true nothing ever gets done. Is the goal to keep the old stuff running (by not touching it) at a lower price? I cannot understand how that is a reasonable option for a company.

It's like saving money by not changing your oil. They don't know what the hell oil does, just that it costs money every 3000 miles. They tried not changing it one time and nothing happened, so it must be an unnecessary expense.

Like not changing your oil, it's not something you can recover from.

India has a lot of good talent too. Most are desperate for jobs and will take anything offered(Just for the opportunity).

These sheep are work horses for the political cartels, and these people do bulk of the heavy lifting as the plum money, opportunities and rewards are eaten office politicians and their minions.

Most of this kind of talent is used and thrown like tissues or they grow a brain and move to different companies.

I'm Indian, and I don't know what you are talking about. I wasn't aware that there was a big group of devs working for politicians.
