| schestowitz[TR2] | ""managers really know about 98% less than used to as they no longer have HR people assigned to them. I had to slog thru the HR bot and 3 "reps" before 1 of them sent me a link to secure the 2,000 blue points. So YOU order the blue points with zero involvement from your mgr. Most managers know nothing of this, nor the other option of a lunch or dinner for up to 10 people nor the "book of letters" which retirees got from their IBM n | Dec 05 03:13 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @an I wonder if you were in Q2C because that’s where they all are hiding. Niels and Radovan are the worst and IBM should be sued for keeping them around.

As a relative newcomer, I had not realized that we are not supposed to even speak of the ones who were RA’d, nor even acknowledge that a RA occurred — just “so and so is no longer here”, not “IBM knowingly laid off someone with unique, necessary skills, and our ability to deliver on our commitments was adv | Dec 05 04:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The experience is different for each person targeted with the layoff. Today was the last day for some fine IBM old timers. IBM management has no decency.

| schestowitz[TR2] | The first time you get RIF'd it stings badly and you are very hard on yourself. It is not you. If you stay in IT long enough IMHO most people will get RIF's 3+ times thru no fault of your own.
