Good article.
Hope it is your own original work.
There is one point you missed; invariably there are separate and exclusive sets of toilets and other conveniences, including parking or dining spaces.
Warm regards.

What is a MNC company?
Let me put down my thoughts there will obviously be some variance from the stated principles, but in general, I think most of them will fit the general situations. This of-course is work in progress and can use some refinement, so if you have some opinions to refine and make this better, please provide your inputs and I will share credit for the definition.
• If you work for a company where the promoter is a Foreigner preferably White Skin and speaks English with a Non Indian Accent, who has the maximum stake and started the company, worked really hard (bribed) to get the business established in India, put money with no risk as he knew he can reap thousand times profit, then you work for a MNC company.
• If your company is staffed by promoters who are also white skinned and speak English in non Indian accent and are expected to be on Business tours worldwide, then you work for a MNC company.
• If you work for a company where the top management team abuses you only in English and no other regional language, Infact the Abuse is such that some words needs to be referred to the Oxford Dictionary for meanings, and makes you feel like a Perfect Slave from African continent, you work for a MNC company.
• If you work for company where the Pay is decided more on what your Supervisor fills in rather than on your actual work, where considerable time is spent on forms and papers to assess your work with all inputs of the managers and also the Dhobi and watchman, you work for a MNC company.
• If you work for a company where White skinned Non Indian People take all the decisions, you don't know what the decisions are and work on what has been given to you; you work for a MNC company.
• If there is one employee for one job vacancy but is expected to report to 10 different Managers and also do their jobs if required, you work for a MNC company.

Very good definition of both lala n MNC company.I want to add one point common for both : If a MNC company is not spending on the training / learning of true executers then it is worst than Lala company but if a Lala company is providing opportunities n spending on your learning / training it is much better than MNC. jai Hind Jai bharat

@Adishsharma@Rediffmail.com - Thanks for the appreciation. MNC culture is here on a big scale only since 1990s after liberalization. I guess none of our Grandfathers or maybe even fathers ever worked for MNCs. So should we insult them as working for Lala Companies? I myself have worked in Top MNCs in India and never have been swayed by their Toilets and Tissue Paper. They might prefer to wipe but we are better off washing. Moreover atleast the MNCs are more patriotic by generating revenues here for their country. MNCs see an opportunity of big business here, so they operate here. I do agree there is scope for improvement in Indian Companies but the same case does apply for MNCs too. The scenario explained by Shri Shri Aditya and seconded by a Super Moderator (pathetic) is unwarranted for. Maybe the case applies for Table Chair Companies and not otherwise. Scarce resources in small business exist everywhere in the world and not limited only to India or Indians. Infact many MNCs depend heavily on such Indian Companies and Indians for their Revenues because of our low cost of production, vast population and consumption. Indian companies maybe disorganized but they are a means of providing employment and income to lakhs of Indian People, and that is important. One should Try and see how small companies operate in the West befor making fun of Indian Employers in maybe however small scale they operate. European Union is in crisis, US is facing unemployment, Wall Street Burst, unrest exists in Africa---atleast in India, such companies are providing employment to locals and providing for livelihood. Atleast its thanks to such indian companies which are a source of employment and livelihood for fellow Indian brothers and sisters. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat!

HI Friends
One more trait i would like to add to Lala Company is:
Your appraisal is done on the basis of your flattering and loyalty to employer (not employees) or can be how pleasant you r but your performance does not count much
You should be able to work for employer welfare not employee.

One more trait i would like to add to MNC Company is:
Your appraisal is done on the basis of your flattering and loyalty to your Immediate Supervisor (and Unfortunately NOT your White Skinned Globe Trotting Gora) or also can be how pleasant to your immediate Supervisor but your performance does not count much
You should be able to work for at 10 different Managers and their professional as well as domestic welfare.

I am the MD of a MNC and I find the above views interesting, here are my comments...
Aditya84tiwari and 28677...... , I assume you are working for a Lala/MNC, therefore why are you not working for what you are paid for, instead of compiling entertainment files and wasting precious resource (time) on the internet. If, on the other hand you do not work for such an organisation, then perhaps you should. However, I suspect that with your attitude to the hand that ensures you are fed, a position would not be offered.
I find some of the comments downright insulting and if this is what my staff feel then I would be happy to accept their resignations with immediate effect. So that you are aware, I am of Indian origin, I have no family or ties to India, therefore, I am a foreigner, whilst I do not have white skin, and I only speak English with a Non- Indian accent. I was not born with a silver spoon, indeed I was accepted by the UK as a refugee from Africa, with only the clothes on my back.
I have worked really hard to build the company (and continue to do so), risked my own money and NEVER paid a bribe, (or received one), even in India. To reap thousand times profit, as you suggest, only happens when you deal with corrupt INDIAN politicians. Like most companies, we have and implement strictly, our policy “Dignity at Work”, where NO-ONE is allowed to Abuse, or treated as a slave. When we do have issues regarding maltreatment or abuse, in every case this was carried out by a local Indian, does that not say something?
Pay is decided on merit and productivity only. Bonus is paid according to company profits, because everyone contributes even the watchman. Yes, we do operate a 360 degree assessment tool, what is wrong with that, particularly as the decision is not down to just one person. Before you try to rant about profits, please note that profits are not repatriated to foreign countries, because of the various tax regimes, rather they are re-invested in India.
So what if my White skinned senior management make decisions and don’t come and personally discuss these with you but rather filter down the relevant information to the relevant staff. (By the way, please check for yourself the abnormally large number of MD’s; Chairmen; CEO’s, etc., who are local Indians). If you report to a number of managers, you are giving them differing bits of information, which they need. You really do need to understand company organisational structures. If we have a very small training/learning budget, that is because we employ the best talent, we are not a school where we pay students to attend.
Get one thing clear, we do NOT depend on India’s low cost of production, our costs are dictated by market forces such as minimum wage set by your government. Neither, do we depend on India’s vast population and consumption, in fact we serve that same population and consumption, which home grown companies are unable (or unwilling) to. If our products are not required, the population will not buy, it really is quite easy to understand, if you try.
Yes, the Western world is in economic crisis and India is not. Have you ever considered why? It is because India did not have the ability to invest in financial products that turned out to be toxic, even though it had the inclination to.
MNC’s play a vital role in the Indian economy take a lead in improving business culture; provide hundreds and thousands of much needed jobs as the migration from rural to urban jobs increases. Uplift India’s international economic image whilst managing the corrupt Indian politicians’ image.
By the way MNC’s are not all foreign owned, have you heard of Tata, Ambani, Mittal ?
So, please don’t knock MNC’s, instead you should be proud of them and if you are talented enough come and work for them. Jai Hind !

@Harsh- In response to your essay, I only have a few lines to pen....Firstly I am working for an Indian Major and NOT for so-called 'Lala' (sick) company, secondly- if you really worked hard, you would have appreciated that work is worship- and its an identity for an employee. The point being made is all small scale companies as 'Lala Companies' is downright cheap language and who better than you yourself would have recognized that in the first place instead of taking it at a personal level. Next- we live in a dynamic inter-dependent world, wherein every company and every industry- wether small or big- is in some way dependent on the other company or industry. So creating a apathy just by company origins is unwarranted for. If you read the comments understandably you would have understood the spirit in which it was written. Else forget it. Take rest....bye!
