Everybody know at least one person, or one story, where something happen and nothing ever come from it. Always same result. [21:09] schestowitz[TR2] I understand HR job is protect company first, this is how business work. But there is no protection for little guy employee. If you are not important, nobody listen. Some of these cover-up are really too much. One day the pile become too big to hide in the dark anymore. Truth have way of coming out, even after many years. When that day come, many people will ask why nobody do anything when they had the chance.

I've had opportunities to learn, grow, collaborate with talented people, and work on innovative projects like the watsonx Challenge. Every large company has challenges, but portraying IBM as a place where every new hire is abandoned and every executive is "useless and slimy" simply doesn't match my experience.

Recently, IBM brought an army of new hires and interns, hoping to lure the them to commit to IBM. [21:09] schestowitz[TR2] IBM executives, in their wisdom, were convinced that Bob will be able to train these newly hired graduates and interns. Now, these new hires and interns are running around like headless chicken, with no guidance and no valuable projects. [21:09] schestowitz[TR2] How can any of these young people trust their lives and careers in the hand of IBM useless and slimy executives ?

They are talking about AskHR. It routinely mishandled about 90% of my requests and others around me had similar experience. You would consider yourself lucky if you ever get a correct reply from AskHR. Nothing but broken links that was symbolic of broken promises by the IBM senior executives. $4.5 billion savings realized from cutting the payroll went t [21:09] schestowitz[TR2] o prop up the stock price to make shareholders happy so that CEO and his pipmunks could collect million dollar bo--y. What happend to those 8000 HR folks, did IBM ever care to find out? No, but to fill the empty well, they targeted the naive freshers.
