schestowitz[TR2]Yes, I agree, still too many high level managers in the company. Then most of them are really totally useless. AK, could easily cleaned that up and double his bonus, so what is the delay AK? I just don't get it.Jul 10 09:08

schestowitz[TR2]You could make some broad assumptions the other way, and see what pops outJul 10 09:08
schestowitz[TR2]Let’s assume there are 1/2 as many execs and other bands above the C’s and D’s so approx 2000. Lets also assume there are 2x as many managers and exec’s below the C’s and D’s or 8000. That’sJul 10 09:08
schestowitz[TR2]8k + 4k + 2k = 14k worth of the USA head count or approx 33% are in management. Who thinks any company can survive with a management burden of 1/3Jul 10 09:08

schestowitz[TR2]Using your numbers, you are saying there are 4000 C’s and D’s within the USA. If true, there is way too much top heaviness in IBM management and a 10% hair cut doesn’t even approach what trimming needs to happen. Meta cut 1/3 of their management staff and they are making money hand over fist. AK GET to WORK A 50% trimming is not unreasonableJul 10 09:08

schestowitz[TR2]" The Indians might have the manpower but the local corruption and unnecessary bureaucracy are the stuff of nightmares and a huge barrier to any new business, unless you have a lot of money to grease a lot of palms (bribes) . That is why the smart and hard working people look to leave the country and go elsewhere. But they take their corrupt practices when they leave.Jul 10 09:09
schestowitz[TR2]You don't see the corruption in the other countries like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea at the same level as you do in India.Jul 10 09:09
schestowitz[TR2]Indians try and push their sc--wed up and corrupt business practices on everyone else when they come to the US. Try and get a tourist visa to India from any one of the different consulates in the US and you'll see what I mean. Fees, fees and more fees even for an on-line visa. And add to that delays and excuses for delays. A total scam and so, I suggest giving the place a wide miss even if it has some of the best tourist destinatioJul 10 09:09
schestowitz[TR2]ns.Jul 10 09:09
schestowitz[TR2]The Indians have done the same garbage with IBM. Palmisano got it wrong, Rometty did worse and the BS continues with Krishna ! Cheap does not mean quality and the id--ts mentioned think that the games will continue forever, but all good things come to an end. IBM will too.Jul 10 09:09

schestowitz[TR2]It is not racism when your US Middle class parents are paying taxes to the crooked politicians in Washington and yet AK, RT and Nickel and Dime are moving the plum development assignments to India to H1B via holders. That is outrageous and very unfair to Americans. Why should this be happening and H1B jobs go to India ? Why don't they do that to AK's job and some of the crooked exec jobs like those of JK, RT, JW, JA and the rest. IJul 10 09:09
schestowitz[TR2]s India giving US IBM employees anything back in terms of financial remuneration for the jobs they steal ? I never saw that happen in Consulting. US jobs should not be given to India under any circumstances. We are not India's slave. The bottom line is that US jobs should stay in the US. Anyone feeling they would like to get Indian jobs should migrate and live there. I guarantee that anyone going to India will be sorely disappointeJul 10 09:09

IsambardPrinceThe tech industry is full of fraud and it's only getting worse.Jul 10 09:57
IsambardPrinceEvery time you hear about some new scam it's some Indian guy at the helm of it all. Like this recent debacle where people thought they were putting money in a bank and it wasn't a bank so sorry.Jul 10 09:58
IsambardPrince$300 million goes "missing" and the Fed and the FDIC and the bankruptcy people say "Sorry. There's no law against that."Jul 10 09:58

IsambardPrinceIn other words, many people lost their life savings because.Jul 10 10:01
IsambardPrinceThey didn't know it wasn't a bank, there was no law against this type of fraud, and the guy in charge of it isn't in any trouble.Jul 10 10:01
