| schestowitz[TR2] | Interesting that you’ve heard about promotions. I’m in the US and the band reductions have happened to people I know personally. The blanket promotion ban may just be in my BU which I’m not sharing here. Good to know it’s not IBM wide. | Jul 05 22:12 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | " Have you considered a job with IBM marketing ? They love new meaningless terms and words for the non-existent IBM ad campaigns. And JA loves to fire employees as soon as they start work. It's his vision of how Marketing should be run with a skeleton crew. | Jul 05 22:14 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | but, but, but, AK and the Indian Leadership say that AI sounds so much s-xier in the IBM ads they plan to introduce in India in the next century. If AK says that and it's on the Internet, then it must be true. | Jul 05 22:14 |
