There is an amazing Dilbert cartoon which beautifully describe the pettiness of some bosses. These type of people believe more in processes and policies than on their people.

There are some Cultural differences to consider before recruiting a techie in India. The first thing in the minds of the Indian middle class:

A Job is a labor which is performed to earn a living.

This is different from what a good programmer views his Job as: a passion which he cannot live without.

This attitude of impassionate living without any risk taking ability has generated a generation of civil servants, doctors and software engineers whose lives are not worth living. They are just mechanical money making machines just operating. Not living. When recruiting, beware of this class. Once you recruit them, they will bring duress and boredom into the workplace. They will kill the creativity and innovation that can happen.
