Thread regarding IBM layoffs

Email outage

For 18 months the email system has been down - migration from Notes but nobody in IT can put pieces of new system together. Lacking this would drive employees out. I guess the old days of PROFS would have been better. (How many remember that old mainframe platform?)

Emails are still not 100% yet. Lots of missed client notes and calendar invites on team. Mine hasn’t worked since end of q2

A number of my teammates and managers in Australia put their "early adopter" hand up in 2020 to move them from Notes to Outlook as IBM was to exit Notes for good. All of them, after weeks or months of not being able to work with the calendar invites cross Notes-Outlook, demanded and got converted back. Simply inept global CIO office being responsible for the internal workplace and infrastructure.

I left in late 2020 so no idea what's happening now in this falling-apart company.

Maybe all staff and AK are on Outlook now on their Mac laptops...

Can I suggest, ditch Slack and go MS Teams too... it's much better that IBM's back-to-front crazy Slack implementation...

Easy drama queen. Email hasn’t been down for a 18 months. It’s been 3 weeks and it only affects a portion of people. It’s because they didn’t load test and the new servers got overloaded.

I left IBM back in late 00's. One of my motivating factors was the fact the domino servers kept crashing and it interfered with my day to day. At that time a recruiter was trying to get me to jump. I decided I was better off if IBM couldn't manage their own systems. I mean, it wasn't the first time I couldn't use internal services. The level of ineptitude dawned on me and I made a run for it. IBM desperately needs to get back to engineering, other than financial engineering.
