schestowitz[TR2]@fd, if you did 100+ hours of think40, it means you are not doing the job, you are being paid for. The primary job is to work on products, customers pay for. That is what keeps the business going. The gimmicks like think40 is to encourage mediocrity and stupidity. Most of my career, I was a top performer who refused to play these silly games.Nov 26 03:36
schestowitz[TR2]In short, if you had 100+ hours on think40, it means you are not doing your job.Nov 26 03:36

schestowitz[TR2]@fd I have known several people who got Silver and Gold status and also won awards, like Growth, Culture, etc and still were RA'd. In fact some got the award a few weeks after being notified of being RA'd, talk about awkward during team meetings to mention the award and being RA'd at the same time lolNov 26 03:36

schestowitz[TR2]When people leave their record will be updated as to whether they may, or may not be rehired. So if you leave under a cloud there is no chance of being re-hired in the future. I expect this would not be unique to IBM.Nov 26 03:36

schestowitz[TR2]Your first line gets notified a week or less in advance. On Thursday or Friday before the week of the RA they will get an email with the list of people and a link to a short training video and the script to read. IBM has this down to a science.Nov 26 03:36

schestowitz[TR2]@fd Sorry, Think40 and the id--tic mess that is the watsonx "challenge" is the biggest joke since the Covid Plandemic/Scamdemic. All of that nonsense is for 1 reason. So the IBM empty suits "leadership" can go on CNN and CNBC etc and brag and tell the world that IBM has 4,000,000,000 AI experts etc. Or IBM provided 6,000,000,000,000 of free education.

schestowitz[TR2]@ga are you telling us that you had met your think 40 goal and then went on to put in an additional 60 hours including on nights and weekends?! That would be just re--rded - why the he-l would you not stop at maybe 41 hours or 42 hours for that measure of verisimilitude provided by not stopping exactly at 40?Nov 26 05:25
