Just wait and see... all they do is put up a lot of social media s [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.

[03:34] schestowitz[TR2] IBM was once a symbol of innovation, pride, and loyalty. Now its 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 whos never built anything of substance, preaches career growth while signing pink slips by the thousands. And Arvind Krishna the architect of this slow-motion colla [03:34] schestowitz[TR2] pse calls it efficiency. [03:34] schestowitz[TR2] Lets be honest: its greed. Its short-term stock manipulation disguised as strategy. Its executives enriching themselves while destroying livelihoods and morale. IBMs biggest problem isnt competition its leadership that has completely lost its soul. [03:34] schestowitz[TR2] You cant transform a company by erasing its people. You cant innovate when fear replaces pride. And you cant claim integrity while betraying those who carried IBM through decades of change. [03:34] schestowitz[TR2] History wont remember Arvind Krishna and Jim Kavanaugh as visionaries. Itll remember them as the duo that sold out a legacy for bonuses and buzzwords.
