And IBM has a proven history of quality research with decisions not conducive to achieving scale. Their default position, for over 30 years, has been to prove something is possible and then drop out of manufacturing. This is understandable: when they have tried to compete with foundries, they have often made the wrong decisions. Nobody cared about their developments in copper wiring enough to buy from them; they developed a Common Platform based on an ethos that customers didn’t care about; they were too late to gate-last and ki-led the Common Platform. In their time as a research organization, Global Foundries is the only company that attempted to build an IBM process, and they ended up abandoning the leading edge altogether after a reported billions of dollars of investment. Samsung, though part of the Research Alliance for its entire tenure, never chose to use IBM’s process directly, and opted to take the expertise gained from the partnership to implement their own process. IBM has no demonstrated capacity to take their leading edge research and apply it to a real, large-scale foundry.

After spending 12 years at Meta, it's amazing to see how much Llama has become a colossal failure. Yann's a smart dude, BTW.

Rumor has it that Kamal & Mange are out early August

Our leaders are spelling bee champions at juggling jargons like AEG, TPG, SMT, GMC, NVG, PMG, AES, OPC, and TSG. They are either Einstein or have spent a lot of time in mastering them.

it seems like the general consensus is that the teammates let go were great but expensive contributors.

anyone know how much principal or lead makes at nike? I don’t know why they wouldn’t keep their best talent to manage the tech with ai and let go of the bloated other ic

SE II- 140k - phk

She really should not speak in town halls. She is so completely tone deaf and can’t answer a basic question.

When asked about wfh- no good answers just “ we are figuring it out as we go”. Basically- we should be good little children and just shut up about it.

And if we are a “ local company with a national presence”- why did we trash our towns that housed our FSUs? That’s not so neighborly.

Leadership is so out of touch with this company it’s not funny. They play by their own rules and to heck with us and members.

Is one of the reasons morale is so low having to do with no trust in leadership? Above a certain level?

I’ve only been here for a few years, but it seems we have a disproportionate amount of leaders ousted under suspicious circumstances.

Is it normal to have so many leaders in the news? Class actions. Federal investigations. S-xual misconduct.

Doesn’t feel normal.

But what’s he doing?

Puzzled by the fact that no announcement has been made yet. Wondering what’s going on behind the scenes.

Why Level 3 make 300K in salary plus 25% bonus.
We have too many of them, and they do nothing.
They spent a year talking about how to put the same technology we deployed more than a decade ago.
Then only presenting slides provided by an external vendor.
Not even doing honest work of their own.
Jokers wasting money, not coming up with anything new.
We are doomed. What is our leading technology?
Ask our Bachelor in Arts Jeremy.

CR and CU is more concerned on cutting their staff when they don't meet their unrealistic budgets than be a true leader. If they aren't shown the door soon all of the other BU's will be going the way of our maintenance division.

It feels like money disappears every quarter thanks to sloppy management decisions. A lot of the newer leaders just don’t have the experience to handle these situations, and it shows. Staff end up scrambling to cover mistakes that shouldn’t even be happening. It's exhausting watching the same problems repeat.

Need peoples opinion on this. Some background I joined this team about a year ago as an analyst. I noticed some things off for example this persons yapping in meetings saying they’re gonna finish a project on a certain date but then deliver it late consistently. Also noticed some brown nosing.

This person was offline on slack too quite often. Fast forward the manager offloaded their high visibility projects to me.

Now here’s where I have resentment. This persons work is not visible and I don’t believe he does any work at all. What baffles me is the manager allows it. Other people on our team pull their weight but not this person.This has been going on for a year. How could this be? Why would a manager allow this to happen it’s quite obvious he barely does any work.

Any thoughts?

Anyone have thoughts or suggestions on this position?
