IBM Behaves Like a Company Looking for Loose Change Between Sofa Cushions
Chasing laid-off workers for dollars and even pennies, making excuses and devising loopholes (such as PIPs) to flout severance obligations

Someone in another thread has just said: "Does the "I" in "AI" stand for "India"?? It is funny how when big tech lays people off for "AI" they always seem to either apply for a similar number of H1B Visas so foreign workers can take those jobs, or they just build an offshore facility and hire workers over there. Tech workers are facing a nightmare. I feel worse for the young people with shiny degrees and big loan bills who cannot get a job at all because of this. And sadly this Administration seems fine with this. I am not at IBM, but in the same cr-p boat. There is a bunch of us on X who track and report on American replacement in tech if you want to join us."
IBM is trying to avoid paying taxes, avoid paying separation fees, avoid paying a living salary and so on. That's IBM. That's the Big Blue of the buzzwords treadmill era. █
