You can see what people thought of Gerstner on this site. Well, if Alvind were dead today, I am pretty sure there would a long line waiting to sp-t on his corpse at his funeral pyre....and me too. Maybe there will be tickets for the event selling online like hot cakes at Ticketmaster. | Apr 16 07:24 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | This isn't going to end well for IBM. You laid us off because we earned too much because of the promotions you gave us because we were the best of the best - and now are we-ponized against you.

| schestowitz[TR3] | @ee you are too much, little Indian troll man. I am sure you are delighted that Arvind has handed the keys of this once great company to you and your countrymen. Sure. | Apr 16 07:25 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | But you get what you pay for. Blind obedience is not the same as insight; the execs do not really need people like you who just parrot back what they already believe. What they need are real experts willing to stand up and speak truth. This is not you. These are the people he liquidated. | Apr 16 07:25 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Arvind did not make "hard choices" - he sold out IBM and America. He made a quick buck but made IBM a qualitatively worse place than before he started. You cannot cut to success; you must invest. Arvind has liquidated top talent to temporarily boost the stock price. It is falling like a brick because IBM doesn't do much anymore - Arvind made sure of that. You can fool some of the investors some of the time but not all of the time. | Apr 16 07:25 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | The correction has already started. I will laugh at the grave of Big Blue and maybe leave something behind so that some flowers will bloom. As to Arvind, he is a monster and I hope he burns forever in he-l and anyone who supports him. | Apr 16 07:25 |
