| schestowitz[TR2] | Wow! This is like the third or fourth huge story IBM in less then a month! Winning! But does anyone else get a fishy vibe. Seems too compact. Why are we going all hifi in like two weeks time frame? | Jun 26 05:21 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Listen, we know IBM is good at microelectronics... the question these days is that are they going to capitalize on that? The answer is no because the Execs are just plain d-mb and only play the hype game. | Jun 26 05:21 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | In my long career at IBM, I witnessed multiple debacles related to Power. Power10 was the last chip manufactured by Global Foundries for IBM. IBM struggled to find a manufacturer for Power11 and Power12. Customers are abandoning Power platform, since, they can no longer trust the viability of IBM. | Jun 26 05:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If IBM cannot manufacture products that are the lifeline of its core business, how can it claim any breakthrough advances. | Jun 26 05:21 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | There is industry skepticism because IBM has announced advanced nodes before (7nm, 5nm, 2nm, etc.), and demonstrating a few wafers in a research environment is very different from producing millions of chips at acceptable yield and cost. | Jun 26 05:21 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Nobody is forcing anyone to participate. If you think it's a waste of time, don't join.

| schestowitz[TR2] | might not otherwise have the opportunity to pursue. | Jun 26 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If your only takeaway is cynicism, that's your choice. I'd rather spend my time building something useful than assuming every initiative has a hidden agenda. Sometimes a challenge is simply an opportunity to learn, innovate, and have a little fun with new technology. | Jun 26 05:24 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Calling enterprise incentive payments "just a BASIC program" is a good way to advertise you've never worked on one. Calculating incentive compensation at a global company involves thousands of sales plans, exceptions, territory changes, quota adjustments, multiple currencies, tax rules, approvals, audits, and regulatory requirements. It's one of the most complex financial systems a company operates. | Jun 26 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | AI isn't replacing the payment engine it's being used to improve efficiency, identify anomalies, reduce manual work, and help employees navigate complex processes. That's a lot different from writing a few lines of code in BASIC. | Jun 26 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It's easy to dismiss work you don't understand. Building and maintaining enterprise-scale systems is considerably harder than making sarcastic comments about them. | Jun 26 05:24 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | AI randomly decides that you only get 2 weeks severance after working there for 30 years. | Jun 26 05:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Your taxes do not get deducted from your paycheck, so you have to explain this to the IRS and the State people. Bonus challenge - your taxes get deducted for a different state and a notice goes out that you have relocated, even though you haven't. | Jun 26 05:24 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "The backstory of Samsung making P10 is that GF cost IBM 2 years of development effort as P9 had to remain in the marketplace longer than planned due to GF withdrawing from advanced (sub 14 NM technology). That delay allowed Intel to catch up to Power technology advantages and thus rang the death knell for Power. (System I and small system P installs were replaced with advanced Intel technology) P11 as a result was late to the game | Jun 26 16:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and the marketplace acceptance was received via a “meh” response. P12 as a result is for the most part stalled, and there is a good chance will never see volume production. The net of all of this is Power Management blew it by trusting GF when it was obvious they were never going to perform. By the time management recovered from the GF mistake, the marketplace had passed them by. The end result of all of this is to say IBM has | Jun 26 16:46 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | reducing a person to a joke about cheeseburgers and a paycheck isn't an argument—it's just personal ridicule. If you think the compensation structure is flawed or the company's financial strategy is wrong, explain why.

| schestowitz[TR2] | This is bullsh-t. They’re essentially working on the same type of research that many others are pursuing and have produced some impressive cross-sectional images. But by the conventional definition of process nodes, this isn’t truly a sub-1 nm technology. They’re playing fast and loose with the terminology and marketing, which ends up misleading people about what has actually been achieved. It’s more of a branding exercise | Jun 26 19:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | than a genuine process-node milestone. | Jun 26 19:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @F2. The lawsuit that I believe you are referencing was settled in 2025. The terms were confidential. Net net Power has gone from an 8 billion per year business to a 1.5- 2.0 billion business today. (Where did that power business go? I speculate it went to Linux on Intel due to Intels continued improvement vs Power). Taking an 8 billion business and managing it down to 1.5-2.0 billion over 10-15 years is pretty much the definition | Jun 26 19:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | of failure. So who takes the rap for shrinking Power business by 75%?? I believe IBM Power management has to take that title for their poor business decisions. | Jun 26 19:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @em well that’s not 100% true. There is a very public lawsuit of GF suing IBM. Google and Read it. May cause you to modify your story a bit. | Jun 26 19:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Are you aware, that talking about the highlights of products in R&D cycle is a breach of confidentiality. WatsonX projects are part of R&D. | Jun 26 19:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If you do not, you have not business working for IBM, especially anything closely related to R&D. | Jun 26 19:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @hh Your posts "magically" disappeared. One wonders whether Krabanaugh had something to do with that. And you really ought to watch that temper. Calling someone stupid is not a logical argument. It's an insult and says more about your mindset than me. It also demonstrates that you really do have an an-s where most people have a mouth. | Jun 26 19:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | That's another serious accusation without any specifics. Explaining incentive concepts at a high level or discussing my own experience isn't the same as disclosing confidential information. If you believe I revealed proprietary formulas, internal documents, or non-public business information, identify the exact statement. Otherwise, you're accusing someone of misconduct without evidence. | Jun 26 19:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @he You posted the rocket science details about how incentive payments are computed at IBM. I don't think Krabanaugh would be too happy about that. You should be disciplined if not terminated immediately. | Jun 26 19:11 |
