Usually about once per year, for a period of two or three weeks, there will be actual substantial layoffs, and it will be very clear on this site because there will be literally a dozen or so new stories directly reporting such layoffs. So don't spoil it f [04:40] schestowitz[TR2] or the rest of us who check daily for the layoffs - let us pass the long stretches of time waiting by reading these id--tic posts about how Arvind is the worst thing in the world, even if he is literally infinitely better than his entirely unqualified predecessor Ginny, who rarely got any criticism, which confirms that IBM remains simultaneously bluepilled and bigoted.

Once you are notified that you are on the layoff list, you are treated as an outcast and more often than not have to train your replace your replacements in a foreign country, usually India in the month that you have before you have to exit the company. You are shunned pretty much by every one in your organization as they pretty much know what has happened. The av [04:43] schestowitz[TR2] ailable jobs are closed off to you. You cannot apply for much internally , because there are no jobs open in the US but there are plenty have opened opened up in India. Is that not dehumanizing ? Is that fair treatment ? [04:43] schestowitz[TR2] What the horrible executives like Alvind, Krabanaugh and the others get in this forum is nothing less that what they do the victims of layoffs. The layoff benefits are a bloody joke and that's why IBM gets sued by ex-employees and why they have NDAs with so many former employees after lawsuits. Respect of employees does not exist at IBM even with the pathetic IBM Business Conduct Guidelines (BCGs) which all employees are expected [04:43] schestowitz[TR2] to follow. Executives like Alvind, Krabanaugh and Rob blatantly ignore them. Certainly IBM is no longer a tech powerhouse for anything, except to Id--ts in India. [04:43] schestowitz[TR2] Your hallowed executives deserve the same as they treat employees who are laid off - they are not saints. They have made this corrupt corporation into the evil place that it is. It's all about greed and bonuses to the guys at the top. Alvind, Ginny, and Palmisano primarily. And of course with lots of help from the McKinsey consulting demons. [04:43] schestowitz[TR2] Turnabout is fair play. [04:43] schestowitz[TR2] If you don't like it, move elsewhere (plenty of opportunity in India). So yes, it's right to post comments about the crooks and monsters running loose at IBM. Do they even give a darn that the people they lay off have families ?? I guess if you have the layoff package and go through it, you'll know what what I am talking about.
