| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM has always been organized around the 10-1 employee to manager ratio. It comes from Watson Sr and how he was influenced by the military. Now contrast that with management efficiency tools introduced over time (PC’s, SW, e-mail, etc etc) and you can easily justify a 20-1 ratio. If IBM just implemented a 20-1 model for 1st lines, and 10-1 for second lines and above (this should include admins), you would conclude that IBM is way | Sep 08 16:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | over managed. Now throw in a FaceTime with customers requirement for band 10 and above, and you start to see IBM is way way top heavy and inefficient. Meta realized this 2 years ago and cut management and employees (admin) 25% across the board. Just making those two changes, OR saying management and band 10’s and above are going to be reduced by 25% would impact IBM’s bottom line far greater than the current PIP and RA protoco | Sep 08 16:06 |
