schestowitz[TR2]" You want to see more layoffs... let's get rid of 30-50% of management.Apr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]Some organizations are on their knees after major layoffs in the past 5+ years, barely having enough people to perform engagements. As a reminder, managers do not perform engagements and this is the people delivering the services who are bringing in the revenue to the company.Apr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]Most managers are totally useless and a cost to the company. Let's purge...Apr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]The belief that you can replace someone that has 10, 20, 30+ years of experience with an out-of-college kid is just totally nuts.Apr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]As always, great job IBM! You are digging your own grave. "Apr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]"Apr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]Let's talk about cost savings myth. It's never a 1:1 replacement of USA worker for Indian engineer. As a previous IBM manager, I have seen several worst cost scenarios. A team of 3 PM's replaced by over 30 PM's and they still couldn't handle the load with any speed or quality. For systems engineers, which should be plentiful in India, the average allowed backfill ratio is around 2:1, but the Indian replacements can only do less thaApr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]n a third of the work together. The absolute worst case I saw was a couple years ago. 1 senior US person with their server build scripts was replaced with over 100 Indian engineers to build everything manually. That whole offering eventually fell apart, they blamed the US senior engineer who was no longer there for it falling apart without him! I could go on about the cost savings myth, I'm sure others could as well. As a share holApr 28 15:44
schestowitz[TR2]der while I worked at IBM, I focused on the stock analysis and dividend stability, not the insanity that came from executive decision making.Apr 28 15:44

schestowitz[TR2]USA Investment Plans Real or Not?Apr 28 15:45
schestowitz[TR2]Saw this on Seeking Alpha. Pasted text here for those who do not have a subscription. “ IBM (NYSE:IBM) plans to invest $150B in the U.S. over the next five years to accelerate technology opportunity.Apr 28 15:45
schestowitz[TR2]The U.S. tech giant said the amount includes an investment of over $30B in research and development to advance and continue IBM's American manufacturing of mainframe and quantum computers.Apr 28 15:45
schestowitz[TR2]"We have been focused on American jobs and manufacturing since our founding 114 years ago, and with this investment and manufacturing commitment we are ensuring that IBM remains the epicenter of the world's most advanced computing and AI capabilities," said IBM's Chairman, President and CEO Arvind Krishna.Apr 28 15:45
schestowitz[TR2]IBM noted that it operates the world's largest fleet of quantum computer systems, and will continue to design, build and assemble quantum computers in America.”Apr 28 15:45

schestowitz[TR2]"Apr 28 15:45
schestowitz[TR2]Is this a ploy to please the Trump administration?Apr 28 15:45
schestowitz[TR2]"Apr 28 15:46
schestowitz[TR2]The Mainframe/Quantum part is already developed and built in the USA. These are funds that were already planned to be spent. So nothing new there.Apr 28 15:46
schestowitz[TR2]The rest of the $120b is not specified. So not sure what that entails, but I expect it is projects that were already planned.Apr 28 15:46
schestowitz[TR2]On the statement of focused on American jobs. I snorted coffee out of my nose when I read that line. So why the heck did IBM fire all those American employees and replace them with Indians if it is focused on American Jobs?Apr 28 15:46
schestowitz[TR2]In short I believe this is all about getting some of the Government contracts back.Apr 28 15:46

schestowitz[TR2]No mention of POWER. Or Cloud. Or Storage. IBM has been aligned with the radical Dems for over 100 years going back to when Thomas J Watson Sr was very closely to FDR and they would have dinner in the Poughkeepsie - Hyde Park NY area. Thomas J Watson J was US Ambassador to Russia under Carter just before they invaded Afghanistan.
