| schestowitz[TR2] | here are lots of people in Poughkeepsie with 35+ years or more. They are all ready to go and take all their Z Box experience with them. When they go IBM will be really sc--wed, because IBM never built up a bench to replace these dinosaurs. There is a huge skills gap. New hires never stay more than 2 years because they don't want to learn old1960s technology, deal with the IBM culture and live in Poughkeepsie. | Aug 06 15:18 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @cr Poughkeepsie is where the Z boxes are manufactured, so I believe it's part of Infrastructure, I think only retirement eligible people got this Next Step opportunity | Aug 06 15:18 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | If you are on a PIP you are a target for the company... | Aug 06 15:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Managers will start tagging people as low performers and put them in PIPs, then lay them off. | Aug 06 15:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That's how IBM works. | Aug 06 15:18 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | If someone accepts the program, IBM is off the hook for extended healthcare support. A layoff used to offer one year extended health coverage support, It costs IBM $$$$. | Aug 06 15:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Personally, I choose to stick around and wait for 1-1 meeting with the manager. I like to watch the useless POS squirm . | Aug 06 15:18 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @ae From what I can tell it's a transition to retirement program where you work part time and have to retire by a certain date, but not sure what incentives they give or if its forced. | Aug 06 15:18 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | They are offering it in Infrastructure, it offers no incentive, nothing, it's a hard pass. What is interesting, is despite what they say, IBM is in big trouble, and they are desperate given the short "next step" timeline | Aug 06 15:18 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | ""A huge number of hardware device drivers are being removed from Linux… because Linux kernel developers don’t want to deal with the flood of AI generated code submissions “AI bug reports” for them. | Aug 06 19:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | These removed Linux drivers include mice, Ethernet cards, amateur radio, NFC, and more (including “legacy” hardware from 2002). | Aug 06 19:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In other words: AI/LLM is directly leading to Linux working with significantly less hardware. | Aug 06 19:31 |
