How long after my colleague left should I wait before IBM fills the position? It's been a few months, and it looks like they don't have any intention of doing so.

Honestly, wont be long ,if you're locate in North America, they will get your replacement from India, Egypt at 1/3 of your salary (at the base), I'm 64 was not ready to leave and they hired someone the next day in Egypt.
How about just ask your manager. Wow, imagine that.
Can confirm
Sorry 0P, you actually have to work for a living. If you don’t like it, leave. Believe it or not thousands would be happy to have the job you have.
Until they found someone with half the salary.
Why not just tell your manager that you have too much work, and ask when he/she will hire a replacement for your "colleague" ?
Whenever a colleague leaves, it is a good opportunity for those who remain to unload some of their work on the departed. Move some of your tasks as if it was the departed's responsibility, and sometimes those tasks never return to you. After they are gone, you can say "Alice was the expert on X, so it will take several months to become proficient on X. Should that be my priority, or should I continue doing my own job?"
OMG, new collar wiz kid with no clue. Suck it up, learn to do the work of 2 - 3 people...the baby blue way. Good luck to you and also ran IBM.
Not a question anyone can answer ..we don't even know what area you're working in. IBM is a company in a state of flux and has been for a while. A better question might be, "how long should I wait before bailing out?"
Stupid is as stupid does Feel so bad for anyone counting on you
Jeeesuz OP, You must be the original new coller hire
Wow...really?? This just may be the d-mbest posting I have ever seen. What do mean by your colleague "left"? Either way it doesn't matter You are literally asking why haven't they hired my soon to be replacement, who I'm so eager to train so they can help on board the next cog. Again...wow is all I can say. Get a clue
