schestowitz[TR2]@ad yeah, but could they, just thinking out loud here, use something in the Separation agreement to say "you didn't fulfill your requirements by RTO 3 days" and thus not pay you the 3 months?Nov 08 00:44

schestowitz[TR2]"choing the fact that most employees in India are doing nothing that brings value or business to IBM. I was forced to train many they brought on as "writers" who could barely speak English and made content worse as IBM settled for publishing garbage quality."Nov 08 00:47
schestowitz[TR2]"Dinesh is another incompetent South Indian b-m just like Alvind (AK is a Tamil je----f) and that is why these South Indians have been ganging up and putting all the new IBM business centers in South India. It is not rocket science, they are very clannish and eventually they will seek to draw all the US business they can grab and steal to their home states in India. Just wait and see... all they do is put up a lot of social media sNov 08 00:48
schestowitz[TR2]ites and pages to illustrate how close they all are; just go to Dinesh's blog on-line and you will see what I mean. I would fire the lot of them for cause in the US - the total failure to keep a healthy and profitable company from getting into the dustbin because of their incompetence. AK needs to be fired first. I would also add Gin 'n Tonic (Ginny) to the list and claw back all her compensation. A Despicable lot of executives.Nov 08 00:48

schestowitz[TR2]Arvind Krishna’s greed will sink IBM — and CFO Jim Kavanaugh is the perfect partner in corporate destruction.Nov 08 03:34
schestowitz[TR2]IBM was once a symbol of innovation, pride, and loyalty. Now it’s run by executives who hide behind buzzwords like “AI transformation” and “upskilling” while gutting the very workforce that made the company great. Kavanaugh, a bloated paper pusher who’s never built anything of substance, preaches “career growth” while signing pink slips by the thousands. And Arvind Krishna — the architect of this slow-motion collaNov 08 03:34
schestowitz[TR2]pse — calls it “efficiency.”Nov 08 03:34
schestowitz[TR2]Let’s be honest: it’s greed. It’s short-term stock manipulation disguised as “strategy.” It’s executives enriching themselves while destroying livelihoods and morale. IBM’s biggest problem isn’t competition — it’s leadership that has completely lost its soul.Nov 08 03:34
schestowitz[TR2]You can’t “transform” a company by erasing its people. You can’t innovate when fear replaces pride. And you can’t claim integrity while betraying those who carried IBM through decades of change.Nov 08 03:34
schestowitz[TR2]History won’t remember Arvind Krishna and Jim Kavanaugh as visionaries. It’ll remember them as the duo that sold out a legacy for bonuses and buzzwords.Nov 08 03:34
