| schestowitz[TR2] | They are basically untouchable in Albany. How many projects have failed and then just quietly disappeared? 7nm was a catastrophic dumpster fire that contributed to ~1,000 layoffs at GlobalFoundries, yet somehow people here in IBM Albany received huge awards, even CEO Awards, for it. Now we purchase the tech from Samsung. Who developed completely on their own with no help from IBM research or work. | Aug 30 04:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Same with Rapidus, we missed target after target every quarter until we simply stopped talking about it in MCMs. Hoped they wouldn’t ask about it directly. Yet same people get promoted and rewarded. | Aug 30 04:23 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | They’re usually protected at that level. At least in Albany, there were so many people who honestly deserved to be held accountable for repeatedly missing milestones and outright failing, yet instead of facing consequences, they were simply moved around. Meanwhile, their subordinates were left to pay the price—working their as--s off trying to somehow deliver on the unrealistic goals set by second-line leadership. | Aug 30 04:23 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I had an IBM executive once ask me why I needed to know something. They thought they had me because they knew there was nothing practical I could do with the information. I replied truthfully which is I simply get positive feelings from having greater knowledge of my environment and the things that are going on, even if it changes nothing else.

| schestowitz[TR2] | @fe I agree it has always been 1:1 replacement by India. IBM is trying to show a fake savings through labor arbitrage and a 4:1 ratio wouldn't allow that. | Aug 30 17:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This tells you a lot about how many westerners have been laid off to build that massive 150k workforce in India. Between Europe and North America, 600k people have been eliminated over time. Remember that IBM basically a private equity firm that strip mines the companies it acquires and then lays off most of the staff. | Aug 30 17:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | With 600k let go IBM is a powerful engine of Unemployment in the West, gradually acquiring 150k Indians. | Aug 30 17:26 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @Af. You are stretching the truth by a lot. IBM usually hires 1 for 1. Eg if they RA a person in NA, they only hire 1 person in India. Why do I say that? Because hiring in India is a cost savings exercise and total burden wages in India are approx 1/4 - 1/3 of what they are in NA. The same goes for Northern Europe. | Aug 30 17:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So for every 100 dollars shed by IBM for RA’s IBM has to add 33 bucks to hire in India. The difference 66 dollars drops to the bottom line as cost reduction. | Aug 30 17:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If we used your logic for every 100 dollars shed by RA’s IBM would add 6 employees x 33 dollars each = 198 dollars in cost, or an increase of 98 bucks. I don’t see the CFO signing off on that. | Aug 30 17:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We can also play the numbers backwards. IBM India has approx 140k worth of employees. Using your logic that would say IBM RA’ed 23k worth of NA and Northern European employees if all were hired via an RA replacement. Does anyone really think IBM’s RA’s are limited to 23k?
