Carboys and Indians, the blog- follows the developments of Carboys and Indians, the book - while offering snippets and previews of the book's direction in capsulated form.
Unlike those other books about Cowboys and Indians, those westerns dealing with the Cowboys and Indians of yesteryear, where Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Maverick, were fighting the likes of Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo and all the other famous chiefs, this book has nothing to do with Teepees, Tomahawks, or Paint Ponies. It does have to do with the turmoil the chief executive creates on a daily basis as the India based Internet company floats along under the dysfunctional direction of one of the company's founders. The struggles the company has with customer service, getting products to market on time, and fulfilling the needs and promises made to customers, comes to light only after customer cancellations surpass new contracts.
Carboys and Indians is set in Internet Territory in San Francisco and in Bangalore, India. The Carboys within the pages are of the corporate ilk. They include those who have made a profession out of America's automotive industry. And the Indians are, for the most part, the hard working, underpaid employees of a Bangalore based company with offices in San Francisco. The company, a subsidiary of an India based publicly traded company, is run by an executive who considers his clients suckers, his employees idiots, and Americans, stupid.
And, it only gets better from here...

ReplyDeletegood read, sounds like that company sucks
ReplyDeleteSuch a jester a world has seen yet not!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve 2 and 1/2 pats on the back for your book idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is from a Carboy's American employee.
ReplyDeleteThis blog might be entertaining as fiction, but a far cry from truth.
I know for fact the blogger is just another disgruntled ex-employee who heavily abused his coworkers with his 'white supremacy', who can't sell worth a d*&^ and blamed the product for his team's incompetency and heavily abused his high titled position given by kindhearted, over trusting Indian boss/friend of over a decade.

ReplyDeleteWhy feel so strongly to the company? Because you feel that he is wrong on what is being documented? Or that your being told to write this or be fired for not listening to the boss. Or a power hungry wanna be a COO is telling you to write this or else that he/she will make your life a living hell. I to have seen firsthand what has happen there and he is correct on what is being stated.
"White Supremacy"? Please, LOL maybe if the US based company was not being ran like it was in India then blogs like this would not exist
If you’re so proud about the company that you work for then why post anonymous?
Great Stuff.
