| schestowitz[TR2] | Being under 35 years of age places you in a highly preferred employee category at IBM. But no one is fully protected when the budget axe swings. Nobody. | Nov 28 02:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Since you mentioned design thinking, it went out of fashion for good cause. I once had 3 full-time designers with several more on call for my development efforts during the height of the design thinking craze at IBM. Senior executives badly wanted designers to play a major role in our products, but the designers they hired kept winning Darwin Awards. The problem was hiring moderately talented, middle iq smooth talkers with no usefu | Nov 28 02:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | l skills. If, instead, they’d retrained first-rate, experienced engineers and product managers (or salesmen burning out on the sales gig) who demonstrated touches of design flair, IBM products could have really gone somewhere. A designer without deep roots in the art of the technically possible, customers’ stated desires, and customers’ actual deeper needs (which they may not acknowledge) … that designer is doomed to fail. | Nov 28 02:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And it may be ugly. | Nov 28 02:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Eliminating the huge Watson-era Design organization was a good move — no design may be better than bad design from a politically powerful design function. | Nov 28 02:35 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Twice a week, in the wee hours, a mini tanker with “septage collection vehicle" written on it would drive into the service road on the Edappally bypass stretch of NH 47 in Kochi, open a pipe attached to the tanker and drain its foul-smelling content into a stream. Everything would be over in less than a minute and the tanker would speed away. | Nov 28 02:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes, Unless you know someone and someone has your back it's almost impossible to survive with IBM. talk about any second level manager or FLM they just su-k up the chain without doing any real work and thrive( if they don't they used to get PIPEd /RA) People/Engineer who are honestly doing their work quarter after quarter are getting sidelined or RAed.
