| schestowitz[TR2] | @OP it does not mean that IBMers should just keep quiet and play d-mb when the company lays off 8000+ people in a year, transfers their jobs to the CEO's birth country because it is considered "low cost" while at the same time giving the said CEO a bigger multi-million dollar bonus (every year) as a reward for his questionable achievements. The HR layoff policy is unfair to say the least - why not pick up the senior executives who | Aug 18 03:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | make the most money and do the least amount of work rather select the folks at the lowest end of the corporate ladder for layoffs first ? Life is unfair but maybe implementing good AI rather than the CR*P HR policies developed and implemented inside IBM may be a start to building a better HR system and culture than the garbage that now exists at IBM. If IBM was a pillar of the tech industry, it would be well regarded in the world. | Aug 18 03:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It isn't and things are not improving. Clients are not stupid and they know a problem company when they meet it's leaders. If things inside IBM were running well, this Layoff site would not exist and no one would be writing about Alvind, Krapanaugh or Rob the Slob. IBM leaders are fake, just looking to fill their pockets with as many shares of the stock and as much cash as they can carry out. They do this by destroying the lives of | Aug 18 03:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @OP | Aug 18 03:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That would be fine if regular corporate profitability meant regular steady employment for productive workers. | Aug 18 03:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But nope. We are in a world where shareholder value must always increase. Over a long-enough timeline, worker benefits have to be minimized, in a race to the bottom, as soon as the first "industry leader" provides cover. | Aug 18 03:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So we are now in a complete oppositional relationship with our senior leaders. | Aug 18 03:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | As far as I can tell, the best response is to slow-walk as much as reasonable, to propagate any confusion or omitted aspects put forth in group settings, to introduce subtle and hard-to-detect flaws in output (100% NOT APPLICABLE to safety-related roles) where applicable. | Aug 18 03:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @e6 you feel appreciated and and successful after working hard ?? You must be joking OR you're the classic poster child who illustrates what a typical workaholic id--t at IBM is all about. The only thing IBM Management wants these days is to su-k the life out of you and dump you into the trash. If you don't understand, that then you're a bigger co-k su-ka than RT. | Aug 18 18:55 |
