Tue 22:25:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "
Tue 22:25:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] For those who are new here...Kyndryl is the former IBM Global Technology Services (GTS) business, also known as strategic outsourcing. Old timers would recognize it as division 07, the part of the business that managed customer data centers.
Tue 22:25:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] GTS was spun off for a bunch of "structural" reasons, the most basic being that the transition to cloud computing invalidated a lot of IBM's product and service offerings. IBM spun off the business into a separate company, and spun off lots of now-former IBM employees along with it. But just as the business was having troubles under the IBM brand, it is suffering the same troubles with the Kyndryl brand. As many here predicted ear
Tue 22:25:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] ly on, a lot of customers bailed as soon as their multi-year service contracts came up for renewal. In a world of cloud computing and software+hardware as a service, who wants to make multi-year capital investments in IT infrastructure and have IBM or Kyndryl run them?
Tue 22:25:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Set aside the admittedly colorful discussions about incompetent and corrupt management. Yeah, it's all true, but the real problem with Kyndryl is that the business was doomed to failure from the start.

Tue 22:39:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I uncovered a bit about Gonad. Not that it matters anymore.
Tue 22:39:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When he and Mom divorced, the judge ordered them to maintain a joint bank account where she'd put some money they owed to the IRS until it was paid off.
Tue 22:39:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So she had direct deposits going into that account and didn't realize it had been paid off.
Tue 22:40:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Eventually she walked into the bank one day and there was a new teller that was there. Mom asked for money out of her account, and the teller said "Which one? Yours or the one your husband Brian comes and takes money out of every week?"
Tue 22:41:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She found out that Brian had paid off the IRS and never told her and he was coming in there and getting her money and walking out the door of the bank with it every week.
Tue 22:42:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So she went to her divorce lawyer and the divorce lawyer called his, and said "My client is in here and wants to know why your client has stolen over $2700 out of that account."
Tue 22:42:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And she said "If he doesn't pay, do you want him in jail?" and Mom said, "Yes I do."
Tue 22:42:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So Brian hurried up and took out a personal loan to pay her back.
Tue 22:43:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then I found out after he died that he had gone to Citi Financial (which is now OneMain) and taken out a personal loan at 29.99% interest and never paid that back. They filed a case after he died, and his widow just said "Well, he's dead."
Tue 22:43:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :P
Tue 22:43:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mom said, "I wonder what that was."
Tue 22:44:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said, "One of his kids was probably in jail again and needed bail."
Tue 22:44:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The amount of the loan is about what bail on a Class A Misdemeanor in Indiana tends to be.
Tue 22:44:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ $5,000
Tue 22:44:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Usually, they let you put up 10%, but if you have a habit of failing to appear, they make you come up with all of it.

Tue 22:50:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I never paid it and I got a discharge on that.
Tue 22:54:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have an amount they pay you for every day you were in jail and shouldn't have been.

Thu 18:00:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ GEICO quoted me $300 cheaper for my next car insurance term. They're also somehow half the price as last time I had them.
Thu 18:00:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They do a lot of nasty things though, but insurance be like this. :P
Thu 18:01:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They sent me a "surveymonkey" link once telling me that I told them I drove 6,000 miles a year, which at the time was accurate, and that if I didn't respond, they'd re-rate me as driving 12,000.
Thu 18:01:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I replied and stated 6,000.
Thu 18:01:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They said thank you for your reply.
Thu 18:01:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I replied well ahead of the deadline, even though the email had gone to SPAM.
Thu 18:01:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then on my next renewal my price went up.
Thu 18:01:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I asked why, they said sometimes it goes up due to reasons.
Thu 18:01:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I looked and they had reset the annual mileage to 12,000.
Thu 18:02:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I complained to the state Department of Insurance, and they forced GEICO to change it back and refund me $55.
Thu 18:02:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then later I had a glass claim. My contract with GEICO said that I had a $0 glass deductible, the claim was determined to be not my fault.
Thu 18:03:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They reported it to CLUE, causing all other car insurance companies to rate me higher, then said no fault meant GEICO themselves wouldn't.
Thu 18:03:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I contacted the Department of Insurance and complained again.
Thu 18:03:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 6 weeks later I got a letter from a GEICO office in Georgia, stating they contacted the consumer reporting agency and deleted the claim from my CLUE report.
Thu 18:04:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then I got a letter from the CRA stating that they deleted it due to the data furnisher requesting deletion.
Thu 18:05:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The funny part was that the Department of Insurance charged GEICO a $500 administrative fine for raising my car insurance the $55 they had to give back to me due to the mileage survey.
