| schestowitz[TR2] | " One thing to keep in mind is that all potential employers read websites like this one. When they see stuff like "payback is a bi--h", "do the bare minimum", and "Alvind and the Pipmunks", can you imagine what they are thinking? Especially with all the commentary regarding Indian and other foreign labor? | Apr 01 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | While IBM may indeed be a terrible employer, the employees who actually remain deserve every possible chance to escape and improve their lot in life with other employers. They won't get those chances if job interviewers think "damaged goods" whenever they see an ex-IBMer. " | Apr 01 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | why not just shutter all the buildings after laying off everyone except for Armonk and don't pay the the rent ? IBM can save a bundle by doing that. But it's a one time reduction in expenses only. WFH is the best answer - managers can just lay off employees via the Webex or on Slack, even thought it's kind of tacky. But, don't they do that now ? | Apr 01 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The technology giant has already doubled its overall headcount in India following its two labs and client innovation centres set up in Kochi and Ahmedabad. | Apr 01 12:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Of its around 282,000 global workforce as on December 2023, rough estimates suggest that nearly about a third are based in India. The firm does not share the breakup. | Apr 01 12:06 |
