| schestowitz[TR2] | @aa, There are many people asleep at the desk at IBM, they know how to make charts, sit in meeting and spew nonsense. It takes them more time to describe their achievements, when asked, than the time it takes to perform the tasks. I wish, they were let go. | Dec 16 05:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Look up the IBM terms: Wild Duck (you were encouraged to take risks and GET %^&* DONE). Open Door policy (if you had a real beef you could request help or a mtg up to the CEO with no retaliation). Speak Up Pgm (if you had a beef, IBM wanted to hear about it with no retaliation). Suggestion Pgm (IBM paid real good money for suggestions; got 1 once and it was awesome and made people feel like they were on C | Dec 16 07:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | loud 9). All of these were wiped out by the G Man Gerstner who started his brutal regime 4-1-93. If you have never seen this 1 minute App MacIntosh TV ad from the 1984 Super Bowl, please watch it or re watch it. NEVER BEFORE has IBM been EXACTLY like this ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErwS24cBZPc | Dec 16 07:36 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes I no longer receive woje nonsense every other day in my inbox the way I used to. I no longer see the IBM logo done in Rastafarian colors - I know as much IBM history as the next person but I'm unaware of such a connection. | Dec 16 07:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This makes a huge difference to my quality of life. When society gets profoundly stupid I start to get depressed - thankfully it is being reversed and you can thank Donald Trump for that. | Dec 16 07:36 |
