| schestowitz[TR2] | Does anyone really think Krabanaugh actually does any upskilling? On one of those all hands T&O Calls he mentioned that he was on the company jet going to Bangalore and he bragged that he needed help doing Watson X. | Jan 04 19:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What skills does he really have? I am no fan of Alvind. He is another b0z0 but at least he has a PhD and some technical skills. Negotiating business deals like effing up the Red Hat disaster by overpaying big time is not one of them but I digress. He does have a doctorate in electrical engineering. | Jan 04 19:03 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | It’s all about costs. Nothing more. Management has practiced lowering costs for the last 8-10 years and it’s accelerating. One of the main CFO talking points on every quarterly earnings call is “cost take out”. (Eg “We are running to the 3 billion dollar cost take out 3 year plan, OR we are upping our cost savings plan by an additional 1 billion). The CFO has commented on every quarterly call for the last 5 years on that | Jan 04 19:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | subject. Thats where the focus is, and where it will remain. Ask yourself these two questions. If you did 100 hours of Think 40 training, but cost more than a new hire do you feel safe? The second question is just the opposite. If you did zero Think 40 training, but had a skill that would cost IBM more to replace vs keeping you, do you feel safe? From a CFO perspective, Think 40 is a nice to have, but cost savings is an essential t | Jan 04 19:03 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @OP if IBM employees who have completed their Think40 and achieved 100 hours or more of Learning and still get laid off, why should anything happen to those employees who are too lazy and who do not even complete an hours worth of upskilling ? It the law of Krabanaugh upskilling - layoff the people who work hard at their jobs, but keep the toadies and imbeciles who su-k up to IBM management and just sit around doing nothing.

| schestowitz[TR2] | @aa I was in IBM management for most of the think40 era and don’t recall ever seeing a report on think40 hour completion by employee name. If the upper levels of management wanted to hand down a low performance assessment, there were plenty of ‘justifications’ to do that already cooked into the system. Most of them would stand up better under judicial scrutiny than a few missed think40 hours would. (On the occasions when I pe | Jan 04 19:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | rsonally wanted to give a low performance assessment, I had crisp, clear reasons and the employee had received multiple warnings and chances to change course.) | Jan 04 19:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Think40 was a previous CEO’s baby. It continues partly out of inertia and partly because some of the presentations are actually useful and the formal program keeps penny pinching team leads from forbidding your attendance to ‘save’ an hour. Think40 is more about making a small opportunity available to you than about placing a noose around your neck. | Jan 04 19:03 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | It is a basic requirement that is tracked and reported to management. Not meeting the 40 hours requirement could be used as justification for giving an employee a lower performance rating. | Jan 04 19:03 |
