schestowitz[TR2]it is almost as if the majority shareholder specifically targeted white males, hmm"Mar 05 07:44

schestowitz[TR2]I don’t know what IBM is referenced here. In my organization all I saw were white men on the top and that was 4 layers of them. Don’t worry white men are still running a lot of the business. It seems like more white men are being forced out because there are more of them. IBM has gotten rid a lot people of color and as hard as it is to believe they made up a small percent of the workforce. There aren’t many “others” to leMar 05 07:44
schestowitz[TR2]t go. There are a lot of unqualified people at IBM and it’s not because of DEI…what I saw was a lot of you get pushed up based on who you know. So tired of the DEI/Woke narrative IBM does not care about anyone. They will eat their own soon enough.Mar 05 07:44

schestowitz[TR2]@D6. Job 1 at IBM is lower costs! Quality/skill/knowledge doesn’t matter as IBM is a monopoly when it comes to Mainframe and thus can outlast the “skilled experienced” void. It’s logical for management to say they are going to hire a bunch of band 6’s. It allows them to reduce band 9’s and up. EG it reduces costs and fulfills Job 1.Mar 05 20:02
