[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	" Three prerequisites would have to be met first: them voluntarily stopping the harmful behaviors, them taking initiative on their own and working to rehabilitate themselves, and first and foremost them leaving the cult (by either voluntary or involuntary deprogramming) in the first place.
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	Then, hopping over possible definitions of forgiveness, the answer is, yes, but only once they move to another field of work. They've already proven that they are unsuitable for ICT. With white collar crime there is a nearly 100% recidivism rate when either punishment or rehabilitation are absent. In this case, both are absent. You would not put an embezzler to work in anything related to do with money, nor put a junkie in charge o
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	f controlled substances. This is no different except computers and computer environments are involved. There are other fields which those "former" microsofters could work in where they have a higher chance of contributing to society. But that chance is only when assuming that they have well and truly really turned over a new leaf and, furthermore, not just regret their past participation in microsoftianism but actively take measure
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	s outside of ICT to make amends. Given the cult-like nature of that crowd additional barriers prevent getting to that position in the first place.
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	As for the rest of us, there is neither a moral nor religious obligation to forgive companies, especially while such a group is actively engaged in ongoing, intentional harm. Indeed, the sole purpose of a corporation is to dodge ethical and social responsibilities. The money is just a rewarding side effect of that. "

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	This is not India this is the US. Arvind is making tough decisions to make IBM competitive. I am sure it weighs heavily on him and Jim Kavanaughs shoulders.
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Layoffs are not easy. It takes a toll on management too. I am sure many of the people laid off were excellent workers. Unfortunately this is the world we live in.
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Mr Gerstner saved IBM. Arvind is making it competitive. Ginnys declining revenue impacted IBM and Arvind is steering the ship into calmer waters

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	@OP IBM has dehumanized hundreds of thousands of workers. Most of those are recent, sacrifices to allow him to descend to his fiery throne. There is no respect for the individual; and anyone over 40 is a "dinobaby". Want to know how many of those 100k were fathers or mothers? IBM's top export is dehumanizing its own people. We are all just numbers.
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Rather than invest in the future in talent, Arvind takes his fiery throne as the man who sold out the company for a quick buck. He lacks all integrity. "Hard choices" that make him hard; you better get on that.
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	I don't care about the anti Indian undertones. When Indians are invited into a US company they take it over. It is the worst business culture ever - blind obedience over personal responsibility.
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	India is also the most racist country on earth, inventors of the caste system with an obsession for how light skinned their children are. American Deep South - hold my mango lassie; India has had two more thousand years perfecting racism.
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	@OP, our Band 6 H1B Visa, go join your master in the hot place. He has made a place just for you. Bring some knee pads.

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	@f6 your first line told you all that nonsense about you being phenomenal and upskilling to a band 7 promotion (a fake promotion) ?
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Of course he must do that because he's upskilling in private with your sister (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) , if you didn't know....so sorry to break the bad news but someone has to so. So you can give the news to your parents and siblings at the dinner table today. But you must continue to upskill and become a cheer-leading executive. And carry on the good name of IBM everywhere.

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	@fk Respect went out the window when IBM execs said dinobabies (a really, really nasty name for senior employees about to be RAed, don't ya think?) should become extinct. That was during the reign of the subterranean reptilian Ginni. Now it's just not possible to show respect for IBM execs, be they the arthropodic Anvil, chinny-chin-chin Krapanaugh, or co-k su-ka RT.

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	What is the world coming to if you can't poke fun at all these incestuous losers ? After all, God makes things that creep and crawl and IBM employs them all. Oh dear, I forgot vitriol, hate and bile. Can't forget those ingredients or you'll lose your marbles.

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	@f2 no, your Band 7 is about as useless as the soiled toilet paper that you left behind after you have took a dump on Alvind's office desk to show him what you thought of RTO.
[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	And you did that to show him also that you want your Band 7 in a hurry (chop, chop, got it??). And you are tired of waiting and dealing with all these ingrates on this site especially the ones who write about Rob the (Slob) Hood and don't appreciate you and IBM with their vitriol, hate and bile. Isn't life tragic enough for you ? LOL !

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	OP is exactly what's wrong with IBM. Instead of focusing on business metrics that matter - if you're in Sales are you hitting your quota, if you're in Product are you shipping quality products, if you're in Consulting are you staying client billable - he focuses on nonsensical metrics like # of days in the office vs target.

[04:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	@OP You've really captured the hearts and minds of everyone here. I think the next step for you is to craft an email message with all your ideas about what IBMers need to do better. Then send that message company wide. Also start tracking individuals' behavior and send a weekly review to your boss and up the line. Everyone loves a snitch.

[04:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	@b1 your first line sleeping with your mother and sister sounds like a great start to a very positive relationship for you in the future. Not only is he having a good time with your sister and your mother also, so you now need to invest in more kneepads for your relatives.
[04:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	There is nothing in the IBM Guidelines or Ethics rules which are against such healthy relationships, even if they seem weird to you. After all layoffs can be considered unethical when the jobs are moved to India; but you should not have any such hangups about your first line and his special interactions with your relatives and siblings. It's all about keeping it in the family.

[12:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	@ar That's right! I forgot about that one. We stuck the last "S" on the front so it was a proper acronym: SCAMS

[12:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	@gn you learn to look at this way - we all love IBM, just not in the way you do. After all, where else do we find out that your mother and your sister are both having a good time with your church-going first line ? And of course, your first line promised you a band 7 promotion for all this no---e and some Think 40 badges. It's an IBM executive's dream to have the best of all worlds, isn't it ?
[12:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Why should we leave to find a new job when we are having so much fun ? We will continue to stay and fool around with IBM executives and executive wannabes like you. Get over the dumpster fire remarks. We know you love this situation and couldn't live without it. It's what you wake up for every day.

[12:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	@bd it's art. Don't you get it ? It might be exhibited in the Louvre someday and you could be part of it. As a pi-p of Arvind and his Pi-pmunks, of course.

[12:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	@bd it's art from AI and more. Don't you like it ? Because it sure likes you. It suits you and your church going first line who promised you a promotion in return for sleeping with your mother and your sister and some Think40 badges. Now that's what you can really call IBM Business Conduct guidelines. Even Rob the Slob Hood would agree that it's worth a promotion - with kneepads, of course.

[15:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Anthropic will be paying Google $200 Billion (with a B), over the next 5 years, to help power their AI systems.  This is in addition to existing expenses.
[15:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	2025 revenue, according to reports, were below $5 Billion, with over $5 Billion in losses.
[15:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	In order to break even, Anthropic will need to (almost immediately) grow revenue by a factor of between 8X and 10X.  And thats assuming no additional, unknown expenditures."

[18:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	"nd how is your church going first line making out with your mother and your sister ? Is he promising you your Band 7 promotion before the end of the year for your Think 40 super skilled badges ??
[18:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	And are you using your special skills to take care of the special needs of Krabanaugh and Robbie the Slobbie Hood ?
