| schestowitz[TR2] | Good start ! The layoffs should be planned also for North Castle, Armonk, Raleigh, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai and site which are manager "top-heavy" and with too many higher bands who are not client facing and not generating sufficient sales and revenue to keep the sites paying for themselves. F&O and Consulting managers and partners should have targets on their backs. If any organization has 6 or more levels of management in the B | Jul 27 00:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | luepages from the bottom to the top of the ladder, it's time for a Supreme haircut and a push to retire any managers who have been at Indian Bowel Movement for more than 20 years. | Jul 27 00:15 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | " yes that is the point - managers, partners and executives in IBM are a protected class in the US and India and it is not based on pay for performance for any of these crooks. There are well over 20000 heads that can be cut in this class, and they will not be missed by anyone who does actual work. They are not client facing, they do not fix anything, they do not bring in the sales but they are ready to collect their undeserved bon | Jul 27 00:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | uses for running to meetings and achieving the sum total of nothing. At best, they spew out some lame but pretty Powerpoint presentations showing IBM's pathetic AI offerings (they are pathetic compared to those of the real competition). These so called leaders need to be let go in 2024 and their compensation go towards the profit that shareholders expect. Right ? " | Jul 27 00:17 |
