| schestowitz[TR2] | He didn't use those exact words, of course, but that was the gist of it. How do you even respond to something like that other than quitting? (Which I now fully intend to do as soon as I can find something else - and I wasn't planning on leaving any time soon.) | Sep 07 20:55 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I get what you’re saying. I’m not surprised by that comment. Managers know that if you get promoted and get a pay raise, there is a good chance you’ll be on the RA list at some point due to making too much. | Sep 07 20:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But it is also a lame a-s excuse trying to make it sound like your manager is doing your favor. They should fight for you if they want to keep you.. just goes to show how dysfunctional that company is. | Sep 07 20:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "pular Ginni. While Sam Palmisano aggressively offshored, Ginni actually made some strategic investments such as Watson Health and deeply investing in design. On paper, these were good decisions. | Sep 07 21:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The problem is that despite having had had tremendous talent once upon a time, IBM has always been led by useless parasites including Ginni herself who lacked essential leadership skills and could only make quarter-to-quarter decisions which shareholders love but which are anathema to generating long-term profit. Look at the recent obsession with people being client facing - they only wanted people who were bringing in green dollar | Sep 07 21:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | s but forgot that people only give you green dollars if there is a worthwhile product and the people who made that happen are rarely strictly client facing. | Sep 07 21:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Ginni did a fine job burning her own legacy down, but whatever was left Arvind made sure was only black ash in the end. Design has all been but eradicated from IBM which makes sense since they were not allowed to make any strategic decisions on their own despite having the actual expertise. Heck, some of the product teams were led by "product owners" that were really failed journalists! Anything to keep experienced designers and re | Sep 07 21:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | searchers from having an actual say in the product, as they were too easily swayed by users and customers and real data. All the journalists did was bow to the whims of the clueless stakeholders, who were incapable of creating anything that wasn't pure mediocrity. | Sep 07 21:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So much talent was wasted. But now the downfall of IBM is back on course. Time to die. | Sep 07 21:04 |
