schestowitz[TR2]Is Arvind packing up?Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]"IBM's traditional retirement age of their CEOs and chairpeople has been 60 in the past, and Arvind is 62. How long do you think he has?"Sep 24 18:09

schestowitz[TR2]"Seems to me that Arvind is maximizing his retirement compensation and is about to retire, perhaps this December? These all happening in 2024...Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]    Juiced cash flow by pushing accounts payable to 120 day from 90.Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]    Multiple rounds of very significant layoffs, especially in "high-cost" countries.Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]    Shutdown of China development teams (due to increasing salaries in that geo?)Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]    Divesting multiple products.Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]    Stock buy-backs juicing stock price.Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]    Approaching typical IBM CEO retirement age.Sep 24 18:09
schestowitz[TR2]Is it just me, or are other IBMers feeling that same way -- that these changes are unsustainable short-term juice meant to provide Arvid the best possible exit package?"Sep 24 18:09
