IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: I noticed that Sam's batch closes job postings.Jul 19 00:16
IsambardPrinceThen they post more that are identical under a different job reference number.Jul 19 00:17
IsambardPrinceI'm sure there's a reason.Jul 19 00:20

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: Gillette brought back the original Mach 3.Jul 19 02:22
IsambardPrinceThey changed it in 2011 and you went from getting two months or more of good shaves off one head, to maybe a week.Jul 19 02:23
IsambardPrinceThen 15 years later, they said "New and Improved" and the only thing they changed was they went back to the heads that last more than two months.Jul 19 02:23
IsambardPrinceI can't imagine the amount of brand damage they did and the generation of customers they lost was worth the short term earnings figures.Jul 19 02:23
MinceR:>Jul 19 02:28
IsambardPrinceAccording to the news, the companies that are getting over $168 billion in refunds from the illegally collected tariffs are "using them to offset inflation caused by the war".Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrince Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrinceI don't think it was ever in question as to whether the consumer was ever going to get their money back. More like how are they going to frame keeping it and stiffing us.Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrince Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrinceAnyway, there are lawyers who are setting up class action lawsuits on behalf of the consumers who were harmed.Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrince Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrinceEither way, the companies will settle for less than they kept, the lawyers will take half of whatever they throw the case for before they have to do actual work.Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrince Jul 19 02:45
IsambardPrinceSo I think the usual playbook applies there too.Jul 19 02:45

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: I remember my great-grandmother. She died when I was young, but I remember her being there. I remember the phone call in 1989 that she had passed. In the kitchen in the first house.Jul 19 04:35
IsambardPrinceShe made it to 92, and lived through hardships that most Americans could barely even imagine.Jul 19 04:36
IsambardPrinceSo yes, I do have memories of someone who was born in the 19th century. I remember that I really liked her. She was one of the genuinely nice people I've met. The few genuinely nice people.Jul 19 04:38
IsambardPrinceThere's a lot of fake politeness these days.Jul 19 04:39
IsambardPrinceYou have to fake it, perform it.  Jobs depend on it. They get rid of the ones who are not polite.Jul 19 04:39
IsambardPrinceSo even people who abuse women, who abuse animals, who freak people the fuck out in their private life because they're so gross.Jul 19 04:40
IsambardPrinceThey learn to be "polite".Jul 19 04:40
IsambardPrinceIt's compartmentalization where even some of the psychos learn to be functional in a workplace.Jul 19 04:40
IsambardPrinceWorkplace behavior is a narrow sample. You see someone in a structured environment with clear incentives for compliance and real consequences for failure. That's not where character shows up. Character shows up when there are no consequences, no audience, and no performance required.Jul 19 04:41
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: As to Windows 11, there's no real incentive to "upgrade".Jul 19 04:44
IsambardPrinceIt runs slower, it breaks things that "worked" on Windows 10, including applications and drivers.Jul 19 04:44
IsambardPrinceMicrosoft keeps extending the patches for Windows 10 another year, the second time now.Jul 19 04:44
IsambardPrinceThis is turning into another Windows XP situation, and they fueled it in part by adding fake requirements in order to hide the fact that it's slower, by making sure that you need a new system for it.Jul 19 04:45
IsambardPrinceIf you override two settings, it installs and goes ahead and works, Windows 11 does.Jul 19 04:45
IsambardPrinceBut the performance degradation is visible even on a laptop that was very expensive in 2016.Jul 19 04:46
IsambardPrinceEven basic tasks like moving a mouse pointer around feel janky, not terribly, but enough to make it uncomfortable in a way that Linux isn't.Jul 19 04:46
IsambardPrinceMicrosoft used to do the opposite. They used to publish extremely optimistic minimum requirements.Jul 19 04:47
IsambardPrinceThen you upgraded and found out the new version was a slideshow even though the last one worked okay.Jul 19 04:47

schestowitz[TR2]I don't usually post here but I've been reading posts here for years. For a long time I believed in this company. I wasn't as bad as Arvind's little pet who trolls here regularly, but I thought IBM had forward thinkers at the top. Turns out I was wrong. The last few years have rotted that out from under me. Dropping the 401K match, pointless RTO mandates across some geo's and not others, forcing good people to either move across tJul 19 19:35
schestowitz[TR2]he country or leave, unreasonable quotas that looked like they were formulated by Stevie Wonder throwing a dart at numbers on a board, and now this absolutely ridiculous mid-year incentive change which - to everyone I've talked to (brand sellers, CSEs, ATLs) - looks like nothing but a way to take even more money out of our pockets before using the missed quotas as a way to cull the herd again by U.S. Thanksgiving. Add to that no rJul 19 19:35
schestowitz[TR2]aises unless you are a member of the executive class and pull in your $30M incentive pay. With this news of the August 1 incentive change, I see the writing on the wall. IBM has taken a lot of money out of my pocket over the last year...a LOT of money. They have constantly moved the goalposts to adjust for incompetent leadership. My prediction is that I - and a bunch of other folks - will be PIP'ed on October 1 and given 3 months Jul 19 19:35

schestowitz[TR2]yes you are right!Jul 19 19:36
schestowitz[TR2]And that’s the part that should worry all of us more than the incentive change itself: if the people one, two, three levels above us are willing to stand in front of a room and repeat something they know is going to hurt the people listening β€” because pushing back might cost them their own seat β€” why would any of us believe a word they say about the β€œstrategy,” the β€œvision,” or the next reorg?

schestowitz[TR2]You called it right: the goalposts keep moving because it’s cheaper than admitting leadership got the target wrong in the first place. And nobody in that chain will say so, because saying so requires being a leader instead of a muppet.Jul 19 19:36

schestowitz[TR2]"Jul 19 19:36
schestowitz[TR2]What gets me isn’t just Arvind and Rob β€” it’s the entire layer beneath them, in every geo, nodding along in unison. We have a β€œleadership” bench that spans the globe, different countries, different cultures, different market realities, and somehow every single one of them lands on the exact same talking points the same week.
