Its Kavanaugh too [10:57] schestowitz[TR2] I know a lot of criticism goes to Alvind [10:57] schestowitz[TR2] And rightfully so. However as Chairman and CEO hes just a puppet of the Investors. I know hes rude and obnoxious, however lets not forget about the CFO Jim Kavanaugh [10:57] schestowitz[TR2] Hes a number cruncher. Hes the one probably driving the RAs . Employees to him are just numbers and names on an excel spreadsheet. He needs to make Alvind look good to the investors so that he can get his 20 million dollar bonus and grotesque stock options and other elements of compensation [10:57] schestowitz[TR2] Kavanaugh wants people especially in Operations to Add more skills while they constantly worry about if they are next. [10:57] schestowitz[TR2] " [10:58] schestowitz[TR2] " [10:58] schestowitz[TR2] Kavanaugh has no skills whatsoever, but he's great when it comes to laying off hardworking US employees and licking Alvind's boots. [10:58] schestowitz[TR2] You have to wonder if Alvind is going to nominate him for an award from the India PM, Modi as well. The award would be a swift kick up Kavanaugh's backside of course for not hiring more Indians @IBM. [10:58] schestowitz[TR2] " ● Sep 28 [14:28] schestowitz[TR2]
