How is it possible to have such large number of directors and vps who have just a few folks under them? Do they get a vp salary for doing that? How much does a director o vp make, 400k total?
This is absurd

Execs (directors and up) are in for the money only... they are totally clueless.
My director in IBM Software is such a d-mb guy who does not want to learn anything about the products he is supposed to support.
I had to present a technology product to IBM Execs once. I told my boss never again. They were such clueless wastes of time.
VPs at IBM do make $400K… that’s before bonus, GDP, RSUs, etc… they are all wankers.
… But that must be really hard for them if they have no one to boss around…
@3uig+1f5GYnK2… $533K to be exact. Life is good. Everyone I know who left Ibm has easily bumped their base, plus with RSU’s and bonus…way better than Ibm. Bonuses at ibm was a joke, ask anyone. Get out of that shithole. Lots of better options…. No reason to stay at ibm…
I am B10 and I make 250K... So, I guess I should leave to go make 500K somewhere else.
Exactly!!!
Lol no b10 makes 500k at ibm othw why would anyone leave, work for 30 hrs for life
Liar
Dead weight, empty suits, useless sacks of sheet. Riding it out til they can
Hope they make more than 400K. I was a band 10, left 3 years ago and comp last year was north of $500…..
So many VPs at IBM... this is crazy...
Bruh just leave ibm, they're not a tech company anymore.
Bruh we have a VP who's sole job is to look over the Academy of Technology. What a joke
@thv+1f5GYnK2, yep! And IBM sell those tech.
Agree with 1:25 or more ratio. In this modern era of technology, such as cloud computing, automation, artificial intelligence, and business analytics, should have made management work way more streamlined compared to before.
Agree absurd.
These positions and the people that occupy them are there because they have friends or other connections. It's good work if you can get it.
It’s good to be the king Until the band 10 and above numbers are 1/2ed IBM will be stagnated. Historically IBM has always arranged their management in a 10 to 1 arrangement. Time to move to 25 to 1
Luksic is useless
VPs are useless, Directors are even more useless.
Their titles reflect what they did for IBM many years ago. Since then the market changed, IBM changed, those roles were eliminated, but they stayed on. Look at the former Global Markets - chains of Band C/B/As 8 layers deep with a span of 1 at each level. No rhyme or reason.
There was a VP that reported to AK's chief of staff...VP of Client Advocacy or some sh-t like that. What do these people even do?
Call em out
