IBM prioritises a "lot of smoke and hype and use of trending buzzwords"
Some hours ago (based on the words used by him today, he was pushed out):
IBM layoffs are discussed this week (despite the holidays). "The top tier decisions made have much more to do with lining executive pockets than the growth and health of the company," one person wrote. "A lot of smoke and hype and use of trending buzzwords, then actual execution."
In another discussion they speak about awful leadership. "Can confirm," said a commenter, "Albany site have some of most fake and worst leadership I ever see. They all are 100% out for their own gain and not really trying to hide that fact anymore. They make fake efforts to look like team working, but not real. There is a lot of subtle infighting and politics between people and teams. They are very bad at leading, managing, and making good decisions. The situation is very influenced by who they are friends with. Many of these managers should never become managers."
Will the facility in Albany [1, 2] end up like those abandoned complexes in New York? Can salaries be cut by more than half by moving elsewhere?
IBM can pretend all it wants things are fine (it can exploit the media for misleading narratives). The net effect is a loss of trust in those who carry such messages.
There is expectation of imminent large-scale RAs. █
