IBM (and Red Hat) on a Fast Train to Nowhere
Last month: IBM's CEO Has Become a Stochastic Buzzword-Generating Machine
IBM is shedding off experienced (hence "expensive") staff at alarming rates and rhetoric used by some of those affected is increasingly toxic. They're angry. Some of them say that they've turned from respecting the company to actively despising that company.
IBM's strategy with Red Hat seems to be based around setting up obstacles, which can in turn discourage adoption of Red Hat products.
IBM can scream and shout about DEI all it wants, but it is dropping DEI and these people keep using proprietary stuff, as we showed last year. This was more recently:
What is the future of Fedora when IBM keeps removing its leadership? [1, 2]
IBM decided to view real goodwill and community spirit as a liability instead of asset. Somehow IBM wants us to think its "goodwill" is 'worth' 60.706 billion dollars. █
