| schestowitz[TR2] | Here's why: | Mar 09 04:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In a company with ~ 290,000 employees, the ones who move up are the ones who (1) standout and contribute to the bottomline, (2) support corporate initiatives, (3) raise their hand for extra work and (4) make sure people know about it. The reality is, if you are a reliable/meets expectations employee and you are not standing out, your name is not mentioned in the rooms where promotions are decided. | Mar 09 04:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @OP simple. IBM intentionally hired an Indian CEO and India you have people judged by what caste they are in. IBM since Gerstner has chased cheap offshore labor to prop up the stock price for executive bonuses. Below is the Indian caset system at a high level and IBM's Indian CEO Arvind Krishna talking about remaking IBM based on age, s-x, skin color etc which is illegal. IBM now recuits, hires, trains, promotes, retains incompeten | Mar 09 04:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | t people because they think they are saving money. Combine all of that and the new IBM trick after going all in with DEI and WOKE is hiring RCG recent college grads (IBM is bragging who needs a degree) and telling the world RCGs + AI is better than experienced people. | Mar 09 04:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The Indian caste system is a complex, thousands-year-old social hierarchy consisting of four main varnas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras) and thousands of jatis (sub-castes). It divides society based on traditional occupations and birth, with Dalits traditionally existing outside this system. | Mar 09 04:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Former IBMer here...the answer to the OP's question is: It's part of the culture. The OP already knows this ("I've watched the same pattern for years"), but still asks why? | Mar 09 12:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It's part of a culture that has been going on for decades...ever since the first RA all those years ago. There's no deeper reason than that. In an environment where everyone can be canned at any time, a lot of people will strut like peacocks showing their colorful feathers. They think (with some justification I might add) that increased visibility to management will help them keep their jobs a while longer. | Mar 09 12:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It won't stop those people from trying. | Mar 09 12:03 |
