With all the layoffs happening, is anyone still tracking badging? I don’t understand the purpose of going into the office if all they want to do is lay people off.

We’re a bunch of developers working hard here, and today I found out that the upcoming related project was handed entirely over to the India team for development. Mind you, they already know that the India team uses a lot of AI, and we’ve had a bunch... — read more

If the number doesn't look good, here is the upside. Disappointing Q3 will guarantee RA for Arvind and much of the executives.

They are very cautious about who will be around them and when you by any chance happened to be in a such "Team" ( They always like to portray themself as a "FAMILY" ) you expect to be on a street in around 4-5 years, because they do not like you from... — read more

I don't know exactly when things changed, but IBM feels nothing like it used to. People are exhausted, nobody has much enthusiasm anymore, nobody seems interested in anything, and the old sense that everyone was in it together is gone. We used to... — read more

Now that ric is gone.. what’s the probability?

Just curious if anyone knows if Microsoft, AWS, Google, Oracle are doing PIPs as much as IBM? I know every company does them, but to what extent?

After all this -> https://lnkd.in/p/g_Ra3Znm IBM management still laid her off (my guess is manager had a target number and he had to save his a-s). My problem is with this narrative of large tech companies (IBM in particular for years now) even with... — read more

Second-line manager here. We’re getting pressure from above to put some team members on PIPs. There are likely to be a lot (and I meant, A LOT) of RAs before December. Stay safe, guys.

There are going to be some hidden RAs in all BUs using PIPs. Record any 1:1 with your manager and any document showing your performance. Save all your emails and keep them safe. If you are on PIP you are a target (you are going to be fired from... — read more

Face it. Very few things there aren't.

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 :... — read more 

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.

Y’all, I know that the PIPs and RAs across the board are truly unsettling, and in many cases, just wrong. On the flip side, the amount of incompetence is mind blowing - people lack fundamental product and business skills here. Very concerned about we... — read more
