It was never much of a mystery why James Whitehurst stepped down as IBM's
President. Whitehurst wanted to be IBM's CEO, and IBM's board went for company man
Arvind Krishna instead. Now, though, Whitehurst himself has admitted that that is
indeed the reason.
Good job BoD, helluva a job you knuckleheads.

Other than the money, why would anybody want the IBM CEO job?
The only reason I can think of is that every CEO thinks they are a management genius and they will be The One that saves the once-great IBM.
JW is no Lou Gerstner.
It most like will not happen, but please, please Jim, go to Microsoft or Amazon. The ultimate slap at IBM.
The BOD has been drinking the cool-aid for years!!! Fu----g arrogant id--ts!!!
