| schestowitz[TR2] | @zb you'll get the RA for not su-king enough executive di-ks. You must do at least 10 every day to keep up with the workload. And no whining, if you are winning while you work. | May 04 03:08 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @Zb. You can be RA’ed at the drop of a hat. All that has to happen is technology changes and IBM decides to buy that technology vs developing it themselves (wrong place wrong time), IBM decides your area of expertise has become a commodity (intel pc’s and later on servers), someone in the world will do your job for 1/2 your salary (most of the admin jobs in NA and Europe), IBM decides to sell off your division because it’s be | May 04 03:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | come non-strategic (GTS, and Watson Health), you get several promotions and become too expensive (experienced legacy employees in NA and Northern Europe), your chain of command finds an AI program to replace you (most of the middleware SW offerings from IBM), etc etc etc. All of the above have reduced Northen Europe and NA headcount by 2/3rds over the last 10 years and I don’t see that slowing down. IBM will eat you up, and sp-t | May 04 03:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you out when you become a cost and march forward without ever looking back. ITs the nature of corporate life, and no amount of badges will save you from that. My advise to you is find a “niche” that IBM can’t live without and can’t buy, and then become its in house expert. That will deliver you more job security than 10,000 hours of think 40 education or badges. I wish you good luck with your career with IBM | May 04 03:08 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "There seems to be a frighteningly large number people (in Open Source) who distribute and collect pornographic material depicting children. | May 04 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It is deeply disturbing. | May 04 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Two prominent examples have surfaced over the last year: | May 04 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Drew Devault (developer) -- Distributed sexually explicit "art" depicting small children, including (not kidding) "kindergarteners"... and published software for cataloging such material. | May 04 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Brodie Robertson (YouTuber) -- Supposedly had a blog where he published "artwork" depicting naked children, and appeared to defend such pedophilia on multiple occasions. | May 04 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | These two men are not alone. A large number of Open Source programmers (and leaders) utilize sexualized drawings of underage children as their online avatars. | May 04 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What makes this all even more disturbing and horrific than it already is... | May 04 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | No Open Source organization (project, Foundation, or corporation), to my knowledge, has objected to these illegal (and deeply immoral) activities." | May 04 04:43 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "Six months ago today was my last day of service, after seven years of flying and over a decade in total with the Emirates Group. I still remember handing in my uniform and breaking down in tears. That was the moment it truly sank in that I was closing a chapter that had shaped so much of my life. | May 04 14:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Even after more than two years of mentally preparing for the move, it was far from easy. That’s the thing about change, right?! 😅 It isn’t always easy, but it’s almost always worthwhile. I took a leap out of my comfort zone into a completely new world - a new country, a new language, and hopefully soon, a new career. After nearly 11 years in the UAE, I now call the Netherlands home." | May 04 14:53 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Layoffs while unfortunate are not dehumanizing. Management makes these tough decisions and it weighs on them heavily. Do you really think Arvind and Jim K wake up every day hoping to make cuts? They work hard to ensure IBM is positioned to be competitive. | May 04 15:24 |
