If you are traveling you better not spend more than the approved amount for the city you are in. There is a new dashboard and they are collecting data to we-ponize against those who spend too much in meals while traveling.

I visited this week, as a tourist, and was amazed to see how pristine it is. Even Backstage! I assume people work 24/7 there but are there people who work on nothing but recovery all night??

Only at IBM would such horrible and incompetent sales growth results be awarded with $38,000,000 pay plans and hundreds of thousands of IBM shares be given for free as grants.

Meanwhile at NVIDIA:
Revenue: About $44,546,759 per hour.
Net Profit : About $27,633,333 per hour.
Per Second: This equates to roughly $10,484 in revenue and about $6,500 in net profit every single second.

Put your money in a Goldman Sachs CD and get 4.35% vs the pathetic IBM results here.

2025: +7.62% ($67.54 billion total revenue)
2024: +1.44% ($62.75 billion total revenue)
2023: +2.20% ($61.86 billion total revenue)
2022: +5.54% ($60.53 billion total revenue)
2021: +3.94% ($57.35 billion total revenue)
2020: -4.39% ($55.18 billion total revenue)
2019: -27.49% ($57.71 billion total revenue — heavily impacted by portfolio reshaping and divestitures)
2018: +0.57% ($79.59 billion total revenue)
2017: -0.98% ($79.14 billion total revenue)
2016: -2.23% ($79.92 billion total revenue) [1] (https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/ibm/revenue/)

The Trade Desk is implementing a significant workforce reduction, impacting fifteen percent of its employees. This move is part of a strategic restructuring aimed at creating smaller, more focused operational units. The company's CEO cited a need for greater agility and sharpened focus in his internal communication. This downsizing follows a period of disappointing financial performance and significant executive turnover. The company aims to improve execution and platform capabilities through these changes.

My god, can this little troll do anything right? The stock is a yo-yo now and we’re at all time lows. A monkey could run this place better.

This probably goes far back in time, but who do you consider the last good leader at IBM? This is probably somewhat subjective since there are multiple elements and differing opinions on what makes a good leader.

Seriously, with the constant push for mega tech corpo culture these past few years will Medtronic ever return to its actual mission of helping patients rather than helping “consumers”?

OMG. What an ugly new electric truck. Who in he-l would want to buy it.

G = 0.01%
NI = 1e-26%
NSI = :(

Obviously things are good in the US with this many hires last month yet Dell is in another major canning spree...

We continue to do great numbers too quarter after quarter. Makes no sense other than MD getting bad advice from JC to cut cut cut.

I highly doubt either of them know whats actually happening in the trenches.

Earlier today Joe Russo (EVP & Pres- Global Network &Tech) announced 3 SVPs will be taking retirement. Effective Sept 14th, 2026 new leadership stepping in. More change coming ….

Does Citi send offers on a certain day of the week or is it anytime?

Vivek is out and new guy coming in..so we can expect a lot changes

Read on earlier posts that WellMed is planned to be sold by Optum by the end of the year, is that true?

Did you heard that company is very surprised by token cost due cursor usage ?
Now they will cut it off, while leaving lots of “engineers” incapable of writing code sitting on their as--s because they can’t do anything meaningful by themselves.
People who are capable already left or leaving, it will be hilarious seeing MI crashing in few next months.
Good luck Emma, you gonna needed it :-)

Accenture and the Nike directors that lead them su-k.

As a long standing employee, I pinpointed the exact time and reason why we started going down hill and the main culprit was Dan Schulmann. Rather than using the post Covid high to become a fully fledged online bank competing with likes of JP Morgan Chase and Citi , he chased mirage acquisitions like Honey and Pinterest. Alex Chriss came and realized the mistake a bit late. Now it's too late. We would most likely be acquired by a bank we could have been.

Anyone here this?

Too much bureaucracy and inefficiency. Management to employees ratios are off the charts for support roles.

Check out this message from Nokia employee in China Qingdao on "All Company" Engage posted on Tuesday (September 1 2026).

"This morning the paper towels were still there. By late morning they were already gone - and not just the paper. The dispensers / paper boxes were taken down as well. Around the same time, people also noticed that the indoor green plants had been removed."

"... Only after that were we told the official story: due to Global cost control, from September 1 paper towels would be cancelled in restrooms and lounge areas, ..."

I left yesterday's town hall feeling hopeful, but that faded when Mike Lyons—confirmed to visit the Winston-Salem Parks Building for meetings and planned floor walks to greet teammates—never made it to my floor, even for the brief interaction we were told to expect.

OEM got hit today

A few weeks back I posted about recognizing a few Advent guys in the SJ office (and no they weren’t hanging out in the lobby). My post was taken down because I mentioned names. I don’t think they are done trying to buy us. Time will tell.

Just remember this is a reminder for you to get on your knees to your RIF overlords and thank them for the job you still have and a reminder what an absence of a job feels like. More psychological fear mongering wrapped up as "FIS Gives". Crickets all over the company, no real plans, no roadmaps, no clear direction. More RIFS to come, stay tuned.

C’mon Lores….use your little knowledge of the English language to get a deal done to sell this pile of sh-t company. Or fire half the company. Either way I don’t care just doing something useful you waste of space.

Anyone know the WFH rules? I would like to maximize while not appearing on any naughty lists.

First Oracle is requiring everyone to use an Oracle provided laptop. This means no more BYOD computers of any kind. Furthermore Oracle is going to require everyone to signup with identity scanning AI company own by Palantir. Upload your passport and full face scan. The next big step will be required face scan checks every 15 minutes. This will be an automatic process that will require you to not cover your camera. You will not be notified of this. If your camera is covered you will be locked out. This is where Oracle security is going.

Gates up? I feel something is up. Not sure what, but something is up. Any ideas?

I’ve heard two people suggest another RIF will occur. Curious bit anyone else has heard anything. One person mentioned December.

What a joke. Swore up and down that there would be no changes and he wants stability then immediately lays off hundreds. Time to leave

Just friend told me that they fired two guys during LEAP event in Saudi, that's crazy... guys this is not company we joined few years back.
I hope Dubai will be safe.

Why aren’t we buying back our stock faster? We have so much cash and all time lows on our stock. We can basically take our company private in a few years at this rate.

That’s it? Does this mean we’re still in talks with Stripe because my understanding was some actual RIF’s in the thousands were coming.

lets all just stop working and spend hours setting up mini golf courses around the building. and spend hours playing mini golf. has this ever been done?

Do you feel something strange in Shanker sending the email about moving on from the layoff? The email is supposed to be from the CEO.

It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m grateful we came through it together. Now we’re ready for what’s ahead

Is the cost of having Lg1, Lg2, Lg3, Lg4 higher in Mexico City? I heard the company has to provide cars, free health benefits, housing benefits in Mexico while there is no such shi* provided in US of A
