Much like the way theyve twisted and we-ponised the PIP system, theyve done precisely the same with the H-1B and other visa system, effectively creating a kind of plantation of indentured servants.

I have both hired and lead teams at IBM, I have taken the "DEI" training, it boiled down to "don't take race, religion, etc into account for hiring or raises/promotions" which is exactly what DEI actually is. Trump got elected and went apeshit over this DEI sh-t then corporations realized they [21:08] schestowitz[TR3] don't have to care about diversity anymore and started gutting them and attacking any movement for equality.

[21:10] schestowitz[TR3] Isn't that the truth ? Because Alvind is the perfect example of a corrupt CEO mothertrucker.

Arriving in the United States with ambition and intellect, he didnt chase attention or headlines. Instead, he quietly mastered his craft, stacking wins through sheer discipline, precision, and undeniable brilliance. At IBM, he didnt just climb the ladder, he redefined it. [21:10] schestowitz[TR3] This is a leader who didnt just adapt to the future, he helped build it. From driving cutting edge advancements in AI to pushing IBM deep into the hybrid cloud era, Krishna has shown what it means to think big and execute even bigger. While others talk, he delivers. While others pivot, he orchestrates transformation. In a world obsessed with noise, he is signal. In an era chasing shortcuts, he is the long game. This is not luck. [21:10] schestowitz[TR3] This is not hype. This is earned greatness. Real success, the kind people should actually aspire to, looks exactly like this.

Immigrant, engineer, now CEO of IBM. While others chase headlines, hes focused on execution, AI, and long-term growth. Respect where its due.
