| schestowitz[TR2] | Yeah just as I thought, nobody likes to hear the "do your job" stuff. FYI, I'm not Indian...I'm a former IBM US employee of 17 years, RA back in the day. I worked hard until the day I got my RA notice...then put in my idle time as ordered by management, leaving a month later with no regrets. | Mar 31 08:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM su-ks as a company, and they have executive management that su-ks. But I didn't have to work for them, and they didn't have to employ me. It's an arrangement that we both accepted to mutual advantage. | Mar 31 08:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | For those who say "payback is a b****", I understand. But you don't have to be there. You can leave for someplace more to your liking. Your attitudes only contribute to the depressive environment that IBM has become. You're not helping anybody by staying, least of all yourself.

| schestowitz[TR2] | Many years ago, the same attitudes prevailed in Detroit with the Big 3 car companies.

| schestowitz[TR2] | Pay attention to the operative word “Cost efficiency” When you can hire equivalent talent at 1/3 - 1/2 the price it’s self fulfilling. IBM has gone all in on “the enterprise” strategy which lends itself to Fortune 500 customers. So ask yourself how many employees do you need to service all of the Fortune 500 customers in the USA. My guess is under 10k Now add on labs, plants, acquisitions, and executive overhead and you | Mar 31 17:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | are up to maybe 20-25k Welcome to IBM 2025 A USA based skeleton crew employee company. Will we see more layoffs/offshoring? Absolutely Why? Because acquisitions go offshore after a year, and consulting within the USA public/govt sector will shrink at least 20% this year.

| IsambardPrince | Even if the price goes up a little on most cars, thanks to Cheeto Hitler's federal tax of 25% each time something crosses a border (which is a treaty violation), Honda will go up by less than GM. | Mar 31 22:26 |
| IsambardPrince | GM is already in trouble, because the last time it failed and the taxpayers had to bail it out, the government left the same idiots in charge of it that ruined it the last time. It went on again for a while because they were allowed to relieve themselves of some of the toxic assets that their idiotic decisions in management saddled them with. | Mar 31 22:26 |
| IsambardPrince | However, with the reprieve, they went right on making unreliable gas guzzlers and even using the same defective engine coolant that destroys engines and turns into an orange jello mold in the hoses and passages, and radiator and heater core, and they just give it a blue devil flush when the customer showed up with a 3 year old car and says there's no heat. | Mar 31 22:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Further, they designed a new generation of engines out of less durable materials. In some cases, the car didn't get better gas mileage, and switching over to the less reliable components just drove up repair bills, and in the end the entire car only shed about 20 pounds. | Mar 31 22:26 |
| IsambardPrince | The tariffs are going to kill GM, and the Trump administration will be faced with the choice of letting it die or bailing it out again, using money that it stole from the taxpayer. | Mar 31 22:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Say what you want about the Japanese. The reason their auto brands hardly lose any resale value, insomuch as they are vehicles that depreciate, is because people know they'll be driving them when they're 20-25 years old, they may look bad by then but with basic upkeep they'll be running. | Mar 31 22:26 |

| IsambardPrince | Trump's tariffs seem like they couldn't be designed any worse. They are obviously intended as a Tesla bailout, but he's going to ruin GM in the process, and people still aren't going to want Teslas if they're smart. | Mar 31 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Elon's Nazi crap aside, who the hell wants a truck that looks like The Warthog from Halo, costs $160,000, and has 8 serious recalls per year, and was deemed so unsafe that you can't even register it and get your plates in the United Kingdom?" | Mar 31 22:27 |

| admfubar | elon's homer simpson car ... :P | Mar 31 22:28 |
| MinceR | he's king because the majority are dumb fucks. i don't think he needs to worry about smart people. | Mar 31 22:29 |
| IsambardPrince | And at the same time Trump is trying to prop up Elon's Swastikars that have f--king panels fly off while you're driving them, he's also shut down 8,000 electric charging stations on federal property and cut all the grants to States to make sure there's more charging spots, so you'll have to drive around in meandering zig-zag patterns on long trips to try to charge it anywhere, potentially adding hundreds of miles to that trip. | Mar 31 22:31 |
| IsambardPrince | If Elon wasn't a Nazi, if there were places to plug The Warthog in, and if I could afford a $160,000 truck and being guaranteed to lose most of it within the first two or three years, and if that truck was built MUCH MUCH better than it actually is, I might get one just for the visual assault on the eyes, and I would make it so much worse by having it painted as razzle-dazzle. | Mar 31 22:33 |

| IsambardPrince | It's not meant to make the ship less visible or less noticeable, it's meant to make it more confusing to try to figure out where the front and back are from a distance and the speed and which way it's heading. | Mar 31 22:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They used it more in WW II, and there was mixed data on the effectiveness. | Mar 31 22:37 |
| IsambardPrince | So nobody even knows if it worked in making torpedo attacks less successful, but it looks cool so they still use it. | Mar 31 22:37 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I've already almost hit my extra MR point bonus on the AmEx card. | Mar 31 22:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I prepaid our cell phones through the middle of 2027. | Mar 31 22:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I prepaid the budget electric bill through the end of October. | Mar 31 22:41 |
| MinceR | might look weird when the cell phone companies go away in 2026 | Mar 31 22:41 |
| MinceR | or we all go extinct in a nuclear war | Mar 31 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, then who owes me $263 really won't be our biggest problem, will it? | Mar 31 22:42 |
| MinceR | :> | Mar 31 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I might frontload some rent except that our landlord is basically a criminal and he's running into severe legal problems and is more than a bit dodgy. | Mar 31 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | So I'll just pay as I go and see if he ends up bankrupt. | Mar 31 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | As far as I know, nobody has charged him with a crime, yet, but he's had citations from the city, late fines assessed by the water department, there's something going on involving one of the creditors he borrowed money from to buy this place, and something happened something happened and he gave everyone 5 days notice that his Chase bank account is "closed" and to make rent payments to some other routing number at Bank of America. | Mar 31 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | And he's had to file eviction proceedings against four more tenants who are not paying him, in the past two months. | Mar 31 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I want to know how the Pope is being contradicted by run of the mill priests. | Mar 31 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Isn't that a bit presumptuous? | Mar 31 22:50 |
| MinceR | all it takes is a lot of arrogance | Mar 31 22:51 |

| IsambardPrince | I said, "So tell me how you want me to make the deadbolt quieter. All I asked you to do is not slam your door to where it feels like the whole fucking goddamned building is going to collapse." | Mar 31 23:18 |
