| schestowitz[TR2] | Most IBM software is mediocre, designed by mediocre people. Based on my 30+ experience, when the software is good, sales people are good at advocating it for customers. | Jul 27 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @h5 you make a good point, IBM software these days mostly su-k and is probably too expensive. Still, this is the role of a Sales organization to sell! | Jul 27 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Time for them to take their thumbs out of their a-s and start delivering results! | Jul 27 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @cs Expert Labs is actually profitable. 10+ years ago, when Steve Mills was still around, they only needed to cover their costs. But since then, they have made a decent amount of money for IBM. | Jul 27 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If Expert Labs goes away, which team(s) is/are going to provide services to the customer? Here, I am talking about the short term type of services... obviously not what IBM Consulting does? | Jul 27 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I am in Expert Labs, and I work with Tech Sales folks all the time. These two ORGs work well together. | Jul 27 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @jb once you become too “expensive,” the work drys up. You need to be proactive and force yourself into projects. Also be vocal about the parts you are working on and document everything you do so that credit isn’t stolen or reassigned to someone else. Remember you probably an expert compared to your teammates. Doing this might give you a fighting chance but at very least gives you something to point to and cite if you are hi | Jul 27 20:40 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I am a 50+ employee, the POS manager keeps hinting that there is very little work lined up for me and I need to come up with some creative work that might benefit. The lead architect is an incompetent id--t, he lacks vision. I am suspecting he was promoted to that position based on some ethnic criteria. | Jul 27 20:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I have a feeling, there is little hope for any long term career at IBM. | Jul 27 20:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I started a small business on the side. I do not think, it is worth the effort to seek any opportunity in the IT industry. | Jul 27 20:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In the meantime, IBM pays for healthcare coverage, plus the meager salary that is not increasing. | Jul 27 20:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I am mostly staying around, it will force IBM to pay a severance and extended health coverage. I do not plan to solve IBM and the POS manager problem by quitting quietly. | Jul 27 20:40 |
