[04:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	I wonder when they will start investigating Satya, Sundar, and all these other sc-mmy upper management that seems to be more interested in shipping jobs to India instead of hiring in the US.. even a stray dog don't bit the hand that feeds it, these guys are enjoying all the benefits the US offers and they turn around stab her in the back...

[05:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	Most of them already got their i140 approved, GC or citizenship. This is of no use.

[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	"One of the key DEI Discrimination lawsuits against IBM (Loeffler v. IBM, filed back in 2025), accusing IBM of discriminating against White Men, continues to move through the court system.
[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	According to Loefflers attorneys, IBM has been withholding documents, and redacting key information about the diversity metrics it tracked between 2022 and 2024 in, what appears to be, an effort to hide IBMs illegal DEI policies.
[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	After repeatedly claiming that it did not track diversity metrics IBM produced a document that shows it did just that But IBM redacted the data preventing Mr. Loefflers counsel from seeing and using those figures.
[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	Earlier this week, Loefflers attorneys filed a request to extend the discovery period by 2 1/2 months (through the end of December) so that the Plaintiffs counsel can finish gathering the evidence needed to oppose IBMs anticipated summary judgment motion and prepare the case for trial."
