schestowitz[TR2]It happened to me on 3/17 and my leave date is 4/17. They have completely laid off my entire division with the exception of around 3 people now. My boss said he has no idea how they are going to do the work I've been doing since no one knows how to do it. Then they say something along the lines, well I guess they like deadlines pushed back years.Mar 19 18:24

schestowitz[TR2]"an you explain why IBM still has pen pushers like Alvind and Krabanuagh ? After all, they do little else but just sign documents, provide commentary to the media and entertainment for the shareholders to get approval for their grossly oversized compensation packages. Any AI bot can do that these days for a fraction of their salaries with no extra compensation packages AND do a far better job than these pathetic excuses for humMar 19 18:25
