schestowitz[TR3]@a6 I hera you and you are 100% right. It is a very hard choice. I just had to leave on my own after a LONG TIME but I could afford to while many need $$$ to survive. Stayimg at IBM definitely affects your mental and pjyscial health so there is that. The best advice I can give with over 4 decades of IT is to: keep your health up even if just walking 20 mins/day, go all in finding a better role at a better company while trying to igApr 28 16:44
schestowitz[TR3]nore the IBM nuttiness, do not just apply for 500 roles but NETWORK as the odds are 90% your next roll will be from networking, keep your skills up (no NO ONE cares about Think40 training-cheer leading) and do take free AI courses from many firms offering them, think about getting an IT Cert to get a toe hold. Good luck. The faster you get out of there the faster you will recover and be on a much better flight path.Apr 28 16:44

schestowitz[TR3]I love reading stories like this as I head into the office for no reason other than "RTO to work next to people who you dont actually work with" to go do the work of 3 people because some jackazz decided that role consolidation was a great way to increase his yearly compensation. I'm not sure whats worse at this point - being RA'ed with the sh!++y severance package they give us during a time when it's hard to find a job, or having Apr 28 16:44
schestowitz[TR3]to stay and pick up additional work from the people who WERE let go. I think I'd actually prefer the RA. At least I'd no longer have to answer to some bu++-licking azzwipe who thinks they're intelligent. Im not thinking of anyone in particular. IBM's executive management is loaded with them. Take your pick.Apr 28 16:44
