[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. [15:44] schestowitz[TR2] Most managers are totally useless and a cost to the company. Let's purge... [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. [15:44] schestowitz[TR2] As always, great job IBM! You are digging your own grave. " [15:44] schestowitz[TR2] " [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 tha [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 hol [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.

[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. [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. [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. [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. [15:45] schestowitz[TR2] " [15:45] schestowitz[TR2] " [15:45] schestowitz[TR2] Is this a ploy to please the Trump administration? [15:46] schestowitz[TR2] " [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. [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. [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? [15:46] schestowitz[TR2] In short I believe this is all about getting some of the Government contracts back.
