schestowitz[TR2]@OP How was your last annual performance appraisal before you were put on the PIP? It would be helpful if you would be able to demonstrate (in a court of law) that the placement of the PIP, itself, was an unjustified action.Aug 17 08:13
schestowitz[TR2]And - while you were on the PIP, were you receiving any kind of commentary, rating, etc. as to whether or not you were meeting expectations, or need more improvement, etc., etc.?Aug 17 08:13
schestowitz[TR2]Go get 'em; and best of luck to you!Aug 17 08:13

schestowitz[TR2]I’m sorry that happened to you. Did they say you didn’t meet metrics expectations? What was the reason given? So sorry.Aug 17 08:13

schestowitz[TR2]IBM’s best shot is to monetize quantum computing, which they are not doing. IBM research Is still great. IBM development is non existent. I fear a similar story they had with AI. Conquering natural language in 2010 and waiting until someone else packages and monetizes it.Aug 17 08:14

schestowitz[TR2]Q2 was bad for Z box, but Q3 and Q4 will be worse and 2027 will be a disaster. As goes Z box, so goes IBM, it's the only thing they have.Aug 17 08:14

schestowitz[TR2]There is no miracle, the slide down continues, Not being pessimistic, I see Q3 slightly worse than Q2. Alvind will spin it as a success.Aug 17 08:14
