I was one of the good ones who left. They hired outsiders with less experience at higher levels while keeping us at the bottom. I knew my worth and got out. I highly recommend it to anybody who's still on the fence about leaving.

Did something today thought I'd not do again, applied for a new outside position at $10K less just to have an iron in the fire in case the bo-m comes down.., sick of seeing local delivery resources flogged to unachievable targets with no ability to increase work. Race to the bottom.
Anyone who knows they’re worth would be best to move on. A lot of what goes on there is who you know. If you want to be valued, treated well, and financially rewarded. IBM ain’t the place. It is such a mismanaged company . Leadership is awful. Doesn’t seem anything they do is to benefit the employee. They are treated like an expense. Not a valued contributor . Everyone looks over their shoulder. I don’t remember the last time morale was high there . Or even just not down in the dumps. It’s has been low there for quite a while. I left more than two years ago. Best thing I ever did.
Know your worth King!
But, but, but Matt Loathsome says the IBM CIO is the best place in the world to keep your career on track with Cloud, Security and Quantum. And Alvind echoes that every opportunity he gets....of course those opportunities for him are getting less and less, now that Kramer is not on a retainer.
Good for you hopefully others realize too and get out and not trapped for next 10-15 before they are inevitably let go
