| schestowitz[TR2] | No. Most Consulting headcount is going to India. What remains in the US is mostly CIC (or whatever ridiculous new name they have). Outside of the CICs, they mostly want Band 6 and new grad hire Band 7, because they are cheapest. Band 8-10 and Band D and C in US Consulting are all living on borrowed time. | Jul 15 07:00 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Your post is a list of accusations presented as if they're established facts. It's entirely fair to debate IBM's hiring strategy, executive compensation, or workforce decisions. But calling someone "crooked and corrupt" without evidence and repeatedly bringing up their nationality doesn't prove your case. | Jul 15 07:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If you believe IBM has made poor strategic decisions, explain them. If you think H-1B hiring has affected U.S. jobs, make that argument with facts and data. But reducing the discussion to personal attacks and "go back to India" rhetoric doesn't address whether Mr. Krishna's business decisions were right or wrong. | Jul 15 07:03 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @OP Yes the talent and skills shortage at IBM is a real problem. Most people I see do not understand industry or client dynamics, let alone our product portfolio. There’s an excessive amount of cheerleading for average outcomes. People are too scared to give others direct feedback. There’s an overall lack of business fundamentals that can really set us apart from other places. | Jul 15 07:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Because: | Jul 15 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The Peter Principle is a management concept stating that in a hierarchical organization, employees tend to be promoted based on their success in current roles rather than their aptitude for higher ones. Consequently, workers are repeatedly promoted until they reach a position where they are no longer competent—their "level of incompetence". | Jul 15 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Because an employee's competence in their baseline job is celebrated with advancement, this cycle continues indefinitely. However, the skills required for a lower-level job rarely match the demands of an advanced or managerial position. Once the individual reaches a role that exceeds their specific capabilities, their performance drops, and further promotions stop, trapping them on "Peter's plateau". | Jul 15 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Over time, this flawed promotional process leads to widespread organizational inefficiency, as many essential posts become occupied by incapable individuals. To counter this, companies often need to reassess how they define success, evaluate leadership potential over technical skill, and create parallel career paths that reward experts without forcing them into management. | Jul 15 07:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | A 20% drop is disappointing, and nobody who supports IBM is celebrating it. But one difficult earnings reaction doesn't erase more than a century of innovation or determine the company's future. | Jul 15 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Markets often overreact in the short term. IBM has faced serious challenges before and has reinvented itself multiple times throughout its history. I'll judge the company by what it does over the coming quarters and years, not by a single trading day. | Jul 15 07:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Debt is only one part of a balance sheet. Investors also look at cash flow, profitability, liquidity, and why the debt was incurred. IBM has used debt to fund strategic acquisitions and invest in future growth. | Jul 15 12:44 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Often at IBM as it is with other companies, it is who you know and who is sponsoring you to be promoted into management. Unfortunately working hard, technical skills, experience, and track record do not end up promoting you into management. I saw this firsthand, particularly with individuals who had less than 5 years with IBM | Jul 15 16:14 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | A 3% miss driving a 25% collapse in the stock price should be scaring the bejesus out of the current stock holders. We could temper the drop a little in that IBM was most likely overhyped prior to the announcement, BUT and it’s a big BUT, this was almost exclusively a Z miss both on the HW and SW side that came out of the blue upsetting the current go to market strategy. The question going forward is what fills the void that Z ha | Jul 15 16:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | s created and will continue to experience. (Who says? Well the CEO says). Does anyone out there see an alternative revenue source that’s going to drive the missed Z HW and SW revenue? Anyone? Anyone???? The CEO says he is going to bring several projects forward to backfill the revenue short fall. That’s going to be some mighty awesome dancing if true come next Wednesday. I suspect there is very little the current executive team | Jul 15 16:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | can do to backfill the current and going forward revenue shortfall which means COSTS have to come down. The usual formula for costs vs revenue is every 1% drop in revenue results in a 1% drop in headcount. That my friends is a very ugly equation as there is nothing on the shelves to backfill that revenue drop, so it will continue quarter after quarter until a new equilibrium is reached. As such get ready for a year of cost cutting | Jul 15 16:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | OR alternative revenue partnership that’s really going to hurt. (Alternative revenue partnership = selloff, spinoff, or some form of IP revenue raising or cost shrinking). Its most likely going to rely a LOT on cost reduction | Jul 15 16:15 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | What a brown-nosing putz! Arvind deserves to be canned for these shenanigans. First, he destroyed the company and laid off the vast majority of Ibm's talent just so he could financially engineer a fake stock price - and now that effort is collapsing under him. | Jul 15 22:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Cashing out my RBA - just in case Arvind declares paying it is some kind of hardship. He has consistently showed himself to be completely trustworthy - of always doing the wrong thing by employees. Better safe than sorry! | Jul 15 22:19 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Calling someone a "looter" or claiming they personally wanted layoffs to enrich themselves isn't evidence—it's an accusation. | Jul 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Leading a global technology company sometimes requires decisions that have painful consequences. Reasonable people can disagree about whether those decisions were the right ones. But it's a much stronger argument to debate the decisions themselves than to invent motives and present speculation as fact. | Jul 15 22:23 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @ay so you know Arvind personally? That he's really shaken up by every single of his rolling layoffs? Not freaking likely. | Jul 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | When IBM embarked on one of the biggest layoffs in IBM's history last year, did Arvind say "no! don't let those people go! cut my bonus instead!" Did he cut the bonuses for his senior staff? No, he asked for more money. He is a looter. | Jul 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Arvind runs IBM like a private equity company that loots the profit and steals everything not bolted down while simultaneously laying off most of the staff. In fact, there is not a huge amount of difference between IBM and private equity; they are far more alike than different. | Jul 15 22:23 |
