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. [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.? [08:13] schestowitz[TR2] Go get 'em; and best of luck to you!

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.

As goes Z box, so goes IBM, it's the only thing they have.

Alvind will spin it as a success.
