It will never stop...this is what IBM Management does to make sure AK gets his $25+ million bonus in 2025 ! It's always about greed, greed and more greed from the crooks at the top. You are not dealing with rational human beings, but folks like the late great Epstein.

IBM has to generate an additional $2B in FCF for 2024... Revenues are not really growing... The only avenue is to cut costs to achieve the additional $2B. That seems to be pretty easy to understand.

Not sure what you expect, it's IBM. It's about cheap quantity not more expensive quality.

I worked at IBM for 13 years. Never had a bad review and was laid off. So honestly, why cr-p on the people that left? I stayed and was hit. No one is safe staying or leaving in this market unfortunately.

psydroid2

thankfully we have a new salvador

Jul 03 13:35

psydroid2

so RMS can take it easy now

Jul 03 13:35

schestowitz[TR2]

psydroid2: let's not discount anything

Jul 03 13:42

schestowitz[TR2]

RMS is talking to me this week

Jul 03 13:42

schestowitz[TR2]

some GAFAM-funded people are...

schestowitz[TR2]

well, attacking FSF again

schestowitz[TR2]

whether successfully enough is up for debate

psydroid2

I know, that's why I give them a taste of their own medicine

psydroid2

I smell such people from afar

psydroid2

like that arkanian persona

psydroid2

which turned out to be none other than britney spears

schestowitz[TR2]

arkanian is Orntario Criminal

schestowitz[TR2]

100% for sure

schestowitz[TR2]

not deniable at all

schestowitz[TR2]

not denied, either

schestowitz[TR2]

but here is the key

schestowitz[TR2]

the harder they attack

schestowitz[TR2]

the more damage they do to themselves

schestowitz[TR2]

I told MinceR a year ago

schestowitz[TR2]

let them have at it...

schestowitz[TR2]

let them

schestowitz[TR2]

it'll come back

schestowitz[TR2]

they make a lot of noisy

psydroid2

like this salvador casually throwing windows into the conversation

schestowitz[TR2]

but that is now something that makes them clever

psydroid2

then you know what time it is

psydroid2

time for defenestration

Jul 03 13:47

schestowitz[TR2]

in fact, thise noise show that are anything but clever

Jul 03 13:47

schestowitz[TR2]

they compensate with noise

Jul 03 13:47

schestowitz[TR2]

<psydroid2> like this salvador casually throwing windows into the conversation

Jul 03 13:48

schestowitz[TR2]

examples?

Jul 03 13:48

schestowitz[TR2]

the homophobic slur directed at appelbaum was one giveaway

psydroid2

you can look in your log

psydroid2

grep for salvador

schestowitz[TR2]

let me check

schestowitz[TR2]

which channel?

psydroid2

this channel

schestowitz[TR2]

"The main theme for all three divisions at IBM is cost take out. IBM’s CFO acknowledged that in the 1st q earnings call (savings accelerated from 2 billion to 3 billion in 2024). The accelerated savings aligns right on top of the free cash flow statement (10.8 billion going to approx 12 billion). Essentially running in place. So what is each divisions strategy

schestowitz[TR2]

SW = buy innovation and retire out the legacy (computer associate model)

schestowitz[TR2]

Consulting = go offshore, up utilization, and pursue younger lower cost labor (cognizant model)

schestowitz[TR2]

Infrastructure = exploit your monopoly, eg. what you know best (enterprise) Everything else can be abandoned or partnered out (cisco model)

schestowitz[TR2]

Each division is pursuing a different cost take out strategy, but if you can’t grow revenue, cost take out is the only way to move the needle as far as Wall Street is concerned. Stagnation would require the board to take action against the management team "

schestowitz[TR2]

schestowitz[TR2]

IBM will continue moving jobs around (both overseas as well as from senior to junior staff) because the management will continue to feel that they have no choice. They are addicted to free cash flow, and the easiest way to do it is to cut staffing costs.

schestowitz[TR2]

At the same time however, this will continue to prove to be a losing strategy for the business. It's been known for a long time that you can't cut your way to prosperity. You have to grow the business by developing and selling new products and services, and IBM is unlikely to do it with their current staffing practices. At best they will continue to be in a maintenance mode for most products, with occasional bug fixes and updates.
