schestowitz[TR2]If you own IBM stock - Vote no for the entire board of directors and against the the recommendations.Mar 21 04:55
schestowitz[TR2] true, but what is there to stop a shareholder proposal for 2026 asking for an extra dollar per share as dividend increase from IBM ?? It's all for a good cause of course, the shareholders. Right now a penny increase every year is far too little (and miserly) for a company the size of IBM, particularly with the number of Indian resources who are supposed to generate wealth for us American shareholders ? Think Big, like Warren BuffeMar 21 04:55

schestowitz[TR2]if they want you to train your replacements, just write up incorrect instructions, play d-mb, get sick and generally make yourself inaccessible. Let Alvind get what he wants - non cooperation. And it was Mahatma Gandhi who did that to the British in India. Why should you even care about the fraud and his lapdog in the IBM Chairman's office after the abusive way they treated you like a washed up dishrag? As someone mentioned in a poMar 21 04:56

schestowitz[TR2]A handful of my coworkers in my CSM org were cut today. We all saw this coming since the “scholars” at the top of the org completely changed and ruined the entire job role in January. Very sad. Those of us who are left are being asked to manage deployments rather than renewals. It’s no longer a CSM role. Rumor is they will replace those who are left with college hires. I’m out asap. There are plenty of CSM jobs at better coMar 21 04:56

schestowitz[TR2]Data and AI portfolio. Golden Circle earner. I am 2 months into my 3 months FMLA (paternity). I return to work on the 15 of April and my last day is May 15. 3 months severance offered. Nevada. I was in shock when I was called and laid off during FMLA. Seemed like an easy pick when someone is gone and definitely feel discriminated against. Band 8.Mar 21 04:58

schestowitz[TR2]There are no internal jobs posted (maybe 130 worldwide) and most project work is already booked. There is no backlog. IBM will have to buy projects and profits via mergers the next 9 months just to show a modest lossMar 21 04:58

schestowitz[TR2]Not even big banks are able to get out of the Mainframe hole.

schestowitz[TR2]The big banks can't migrate off mainframes because 1) nothing else out there can process that volume of transactions while offering 5-9's uptime and 2) the systems have 30+ years of incremental business logic embedded in reams of impenetrable COBOL code.Mar 21 17:28
schestowitz[TR2]Most of the governments using mainframes are using them for payroll and benefits type stuff. The private sector mostly got off mainframes for that and replaced with readily available COTS software like SAP and Oracle in the late 1990s and early 2000s. There's no reason for governments to be running these systems on mainframes in 2025, and not just federal but state/local too.Mar 21 17:28
