| schestowitz[TR2] | Oh really ?? where does the IBM name carry weight these days for future opportunities ? | Mar 26 03:34 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The IBM name has no value in most big companies unless you have key skills as in mainframes. One can find cloud folks - a dime for a dozen - without even searching hard on the Internet. At the end of the day you get a job based on your achievements, not IBM's name. | Mar 26 03:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But the comment posted is great for telling others that someone got paid by IBM (or IBM HR) to post such a ridiculous comment. It also warns others to stay away from employment at this awful IBM company. After all, laying off 9000 people in the USA and transferring their jobs to India is not something that anyone should take lightly. Unless you are Alvind or his Pipmunks. | Mar 26 03:34 |
