[04:57]	Sompi	There's a reason why those corporate-controlled messaging platforms are called "unsocial media". Crazy that those people still try to get back to them, instead of just moving to some decentralized and federated platform that doesn't have TOS
[04:58]	Sompi	I understand that they get separated from their friends when they get banned, but how is it possible that those "friends" always seem to care more about the messaging platform itself than they care about the people that they would chat with?

[05:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Last month, I felt angry and disappointed when the useless piece of sh1t manager notified me in an aggressive and disrespectful manner, that my services are no longer needed at IBM. Since, I was already contemplating retirement, the disappointment faded quickly.
[05:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Yesterday, I received an email from another major company that is asking for my services.
[05:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	IBM useless executives has been barking about AI and proposing lame "AI" solutions (watsonx, ....). The company asking for my services is a major player in AI world.
[05:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Hard to imagine.
[05:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	So, there is a life after IBM."
[05:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Same here. I felt angry, upset, and disappointed. But now I have no stress. not worrying if today will be the day. I feel sorry for anyone who is still there. I told a few people to start looking and update their resumes. RA's will happen in 2026. GDP will be peanuts. They just cr@pped away 11 billion in another acquisition. Alvind Krabanaugh and the rest of the pipmunks are going to get heftier perk packages in 2026 . They can a
[05:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	ll go to H E Double Hickey sticks. EFF THEM"
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	Being laid off from IBM might actually be a gift
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	Getting laid off from IBM ended up being a lot more freeing than I expected. At first it stung, but once the dust settled, I realized Id been stuck in a place that was going nowhere. Constant reorganizations, shifting priorities, and leadership that never seemed to agree on a direction made every day feel unstable. It was exhausting trying to stay motivated when the ground kept moving under your feet.
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	Looking back, getting pushed out forced me to step back and see how unhealthy the situation really was. The stress, the uncertainty, and the endless talk with very little action had become normal, and thats not a great place to be. I was able to focus on finding something more stable and rewarding, instead of clinging to a job that was slowly burning me out.
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[05:36]	Sompi	So even IBM is now participating to the AI race?
