| schestowitz[TR2] | @aw - Who is going to train the new hires when so many of us don't even know if we are going to be around - I feel sorry for all these young interns who have been proudly announcing having being offered the internship at IBM. Soon they would realize all that effort they put in to land the job is going to get them nowhere and one day they would succumb to RA. | Jan 29 04:46 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM has been a sh-t company for the past 10+ years. It is definitely not a place for a new hire or someone out of college to be and thrive. Look somewhere else. | Jan 29 04:46 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @a6, IBM recent offerings are dismal. Customers locked in mainframe platform pay high premiums. POWER is in disarray. POWER was handed to the Indians (both Hardware and Software). Customers on POWER are fleeing to other platforms, since IBM can no longer justify high premiums with no innovation and mediocrity. | Jan 29 04:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @ah Manager here. Here's how a debanding works: | Jan 29 19:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | For example, for bands 1 - 9, if you are demoted 1 level, your salary and GDP does not change BUT you are probably at the top of the salary range for the lower Band level -- which means you are unlikely to get a base salary increase until you get promoted up a level. (Have seen an employee demoted 1 level and then the employee works hard and gets promoted back to their former level -- very rare, but have seen it happen.) Going from | Jan 29 19:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a Band 10 to a Band 9, has the same salary implications described above AND your GDP potential is substantially reduced (since Band 10s have a higher potential for GDP). So going from a Band 10 to a Band 9 does not decrease your salary but it will reduce your total compensation due to a lower GDP payout. | Jan 29 19:26 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @ah demoting from one band to lower band has been a favorite strategy in areas like MCC. Even Execs / Directors are being debanded. Some folk are so fearful of losing their jobs that they take the humiliation and hold on until they’re inevitably RA’ed. The same useless crones at the top seem to hang on by their fingernails though, continuing to make use of the Corporate jet. | Jan 29 19:26 |
