| schestowitz[TR2] | @ag who are you, stoopid IBM India HR Bot, to tell anyone to get to get off Arvind's case and elsewhere to work. Are you Arvind's personal ball carrier ? Or are you some pathetic unenlightened Indian demigod who works in IBM HR and is out of touch with reality ? | May 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Once again you are missing critically correct words from your pathetic response - spleens and bile - to be exact. You need to a PIP immediately and a demotion to Band 4 with 50% cut in your salary to follow. Why is it that losers like you think they are getting onward and upward, when they are thoroughly unskilled (like you), and not even fit to work in Krabanaugh's second class br----l in Begaluru ? | May 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | How is your devout, church going first line doing with your mother and your sister ? When is the movie of their combined exploits coming out on line ? When is the Premiere online showing ? Is it possible to attend the Premiere and count the number of IBM Badges that you have collected by cheating at the IBM classes ? Will Arvind also be there at the movie Premiere ? No doubt he will looking for hosting your mother and sister too, a | May 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | s he would like a night out with them sometime - with all the money he has been stealing from laid off IBM employees, Arvind can afford to get a long night out with two women for the price of one. After all, it's common knowledge, he is trying to get away from the shrew who calls herself his wife. Will you also take up acting in these action movies sometime and can we have your autograph sometime ? | May 30 08:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @ag - In response to your stupid statement: "Get off Arvinds case. If you don't like IBM. Then find somewhere else to work". | May 30 08:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM is neither your family or Alvind, the slimy Indian blood su-king parasite, farm, to decide, who should or should not work, there. | May 30 08:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @ag IBMers have the right to voice our opinion. I speak for every IBMer who has their eyes open when I say that Alvind is the worst CEO this company has had. He only cares about 2 things: shareholders and his multimillion dollar payouts. Meanwhile, the rest of us won’t even get a cost of living raise. Yeah what a F’ing hero he is. | May 30 08:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | So Alvind and the Pipmunks over-promise (lie) about the next "big thing" which causes stock prices to bump up a little, then once the market finds out that its all vaporware, the price will fall once again, and he will have to find new ways to make money. Maybe this year in addition to the RAs with no severance (PIPs) he'll tell us all we're not getting raises and instead we'll get a 1 year membership to the jelly of the month club | May 30 08:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Correct this bump is artificial. It’s not built actual substantive content but just buzz. It will crash back down once the hype dies down. This is actually what IBM is good at. Hype and buzz but never actually producing on the promises | May 30 13:04 |
