schestowitz[TR2]" IBM let's all "dinobabies" go and hire people out of school, and offshoring jobs both are cheaper. I know I'm a dinobaby let was let go. Funny thing is my last account had an outage and IBM India gave the cheap 3rd party company my name and number. I told the cheap 3rd party company to call India and get a different point of contact. That outage cost IBM big $$$Jul 11 20:47

schestowitz[TR2]All I know is that I didn't get a raise because "there's no money in that bucket this year" and I watched a lot of coworkers get put on PIPs who didn't deserve it, but our POS failed CEO got $30M. Hey Arvind....fck you! Fck you and all your little pipmunk minions. May you all rot in the deepest pit of h3ll along Gerstner.Jul 11 20:48

schestowitz[TR2]"Despite all the talk of AI, Krishna estimates that just 20 percent of businesses are utilizing it correctly. The rest, he says, are not getting a return on their investment or don’t quite know what to do with it."Jul 11 20:48
schestowitz[TR2]We all know IBM is in the 20% bracket - The correct way of utilizing in IBM is to tell a narrative that the company saved $4.5 billion by using AI for HR, all the savings or the return on investment as Krishna calls it, are actually from payroll cuts that impacted 8000 jobs.Jul 11 20:48
schestowitz[TR2]AskHR is a piece of sh-t, ask anybody who has used it, I feel sorry for those in HR who now have to do additional work but can't do anything about it, and employees who need to reach out to HR just give up in frustration. And on top of that, IBM wants its consultants to repeat what they call client zero success at the customer site.Jul 11 20:48
schestowitz[TR2]Why is IBM so obsessed with zero - client zero, day zero, this zero , that zero etc etcJul 11 20:48
schestowitz[TR2]All we know is, bonus is zero and salary hike is zero, for all those who deserve the raise based on the hard work they put in.Jul 11 20:48
