| schestowitz[TR3] | IBM started a long and ugly decline starting 4-1-93 when the G Man Gerstner came in and lit on fire the IBM Basic Beliefs that Watson Sr and Jr masterfully used for 57 years as CEOs. Here is IBM/Arvind's reply summarized by AI. IBM is a dumpster fire that treats employees like snow shovels that are disposed of every 2-3 years. | Mar 28 05:31 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | In response to the December 2023 leaked video released by James O'Keefe, which showed IBM CEO Arvind Krishna discussing the use of diversity targets for executive bonuses, IBM and its leadership took the following positions: | Mar 28 05:31 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Defended Hiring Practices: CEO Arvind Krishna stated that there was "nothing illegal" about IBM's hiring practices or the use of diversity targets, despite allegations to the contrary. | Mar 28 05:31 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Admitted to "Diversity Modifiers": The video showed Krishna stating that managers would lose part of their bonuses if they did not meet specific diversity targets (increasing representation of underrepresented groups). | Mar 28 05:31 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | "Thick Skin" Response: Krishna acknowledged the "firestorm" created by the video on X (formerly Twitter) but indicated he had "thick skin" regarding the backlash. | Mar 28 05:31 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Connection to X Ads: Krishna related the controversy to IBM's decision to pull advertisements from X (owned by Elon Musk), citing concerns about where their ads were appearing." | Mar 28 05:31 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | "Heh, so true. I remember this one B10 from way back when I worked at IBM. Boy he could talk the sh#t. He not only echoed the lies management was saying but embellished them. Managers and execs all thought he was a genius. The rest of us knew he was a clown. So I totally understand the animosity towards B10s. Best, former IBMer. | Mar 28 05:35 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | Most of the Band 10, I encountered during my 30+ years working at IBM are complete id--ts. They are useless. They can talk and make charts, no other quality. | Mar 28 05:35 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | IBM executives, under the guidance of the Indian id--t at the top, started targeting high salaries employees in the US, moving the responsibilities by creating jobs in India. | Mar 28 05:35 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | At the end of last year, IBM targeted competent employees. The writing is on the wall, who is next. | Mar 28 05:35 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Now, IBM stands for India Business Machine. | Mar 28 05:35 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | @aa this site is wrong a lot. There could be no action or the action could be much wider than just Bw10s. I wouldn’t get cocky. | Mar 28 05:35 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | @aa in what parallel universe are band 10 coddled? At best they are mid career managers. At worse, they are early to mid career individual contributors, probably reporting to other band tens. In most business units, there’s a hair breath between a band nine and a band 10. In fact in a lot of business units band 9s were band 10s until recently. And if you’re not gonna show empathy for human beings, losing their job for no reason | Mar 28 05:35 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | s, at least try the children and families part? Otherwise, you basically sound like a disgruntled band seven who can’t get promoted… Probably with reason. | Mar 28 05:35 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | I hope Im on the list. Ive had it with this place. Working until mid May then having the summer off while I execute Plan B sounds much more relaxing than working for an ungrateful and unethical C-suite. | Mar 28 05:35 |
