It has been pointed out several times in this column of IBM layoffs, that a single US engineer does the work of at least 6 engineers in India. Indian employees are grossly inefficient , especially when it comes down to the number of holidays they get and corresponding their work turnout. [04:44] schestowitz[TR2] Being cheap does not result in quality work. If AI can be used to eliminate jobs, why do the eliminated jobs have to be transferred to India anyway ? That is a hypocritical way of working because if the job is eliminated the company saves money and should not be rehiring for the same role ? If you re-hire someone in India for an eliminated role, you are back to paying someone again and how is that a cost savings to IBM ? It's just [04:44] schestowitz[TR2] plain hypocrisy and stupidity from the IBM Psycho CEO. [04:44] schestowitz[TR2] The offshoring of US jobs is not done by anyone on the IBM board but by Alvind alone. Don't try and justify the layoffs on the board and try to insinuate that Alvind is taking orders from them. He can walk away anytime he wants, no one is stopping this psycho CEO. And he is in an ejectable seat. But he has blood on his hands, and he will try to pin the blame on others to make it look like he is an innocent just following orders. Th [04:44] schestowitz[TR2] at doesn't hold very well especially with his obscenely huge bonuses. Why couldn't the off-shored jobs go to Mexico or the Philippines ? They have cheap resources and comparable with India. [04:44] schestowitz[TR2] You need to get your facts straight and provide numbers too.

If you have the time and inclination can you please elaborate which companies would be buying IBM when Alvind and his Pipmunks have bled it dry ? Will it be HCL (which hired inexperienced programmers in India to crash Boeing jets ? It was Boeing management greed that did this, not HCL's ) . Or will be TCS (Tata) ? o [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] r some other Indian company that Alvind has friends in ? I doubt any US company would buy IBM in it's current form, certainly not if they know all these interesting revelations about IBM's business and it's inner workings. The current IBM stock price is around $220 or thereabouts on the US stock market ....and some folks are enthusiastic about it getting to even $250 ! Only $30 to go, eh ? It's only business. [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] Since you mentioned it why does it make business sense to keep retired dinosaurs like Granger and Kelly III on the payroll ? They are history when they retire and should not be paid any retainers or fees except if they are working at IBM. No business keeps senior executives after they have left the business . The company can and on without them - why can't Alvind cut the cord to these executives ? The same also for Palmisano and Ro [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] metty who left years ago - once they have retired and left the building like Elvis, why do they need IBM offices ? How much revenue do these dinosaurs generate that they need to have offices dedicated to them at IBM ? Traditions go away and this is a total waste of money that Alvind needs to cut also. Apart from the fact that he is a psycho, he is also pennywise, pound foolish as they say. If he is so desperate for cash, he needs t [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] o cut these perks off for ex-executives. Same he does for IBM employees who he is axing. [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] After all, the show must go on. It's business after all and needs to be better managed than the psycho CEO Alvind is doing.

[15:22] schestowitz[TR2] He is in here for himself and doesnt care if he has blood in his hands; its just business. [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] He knows his days are counted at the helm too. [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] He is not going to have second thoughts for axing the employees who might have been at the company for decades. Hefty dividends payments to shareholders also put final pressure on to the management team. He must find ways to find money . [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] IBM is a sinking ship ( who knows how long before it gets acquired) that requires necessary drastic restructuring in an industry that is driven by speed of innovation; previous CEOs have kicked the can down the road by not making these changes in the past that created current crisis; in the rest of the industry, IBM isnt alone outsourcing jobs to India but also to wherever it makes business sense. [15:22] schestowitz[TR2] In the rest of the industry, leading companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Broadcom etc.. dont like to keep aging employees like IBM does.
