Let’s all brace ourselves from select cheerleading IBMers bragging about our 3Q 26 results on LinkedIn. There’s nothing to brag about, we all have lots more to do to grow the business so we don’t fall into the abyss of irrelevance. So STFU please.

@a4 absolutely not. RAs are a key part of how IBM engineers its "profit". The fact they have now shifted to a dark Jack Welchian Rank and Yank approach isn't due to kindness but because they can no longer afford to lay people off but also cannot afford not to. So PIPs all around, and RAs when it is in the budget.
The one thing you will never again see at IBM is genuine investment in employees to grow skills and attract talent. The fact that they are even starting to sc r e w over India tells you all you need to know.
This is not a healthy company; it only identities as one.
IBM usually has 1 good quarter then back to the usually not meeting the expectations
@OP You’re delusional. My only goal is to use IBM for a paycheck while doing as little as possible during my hunt for a better company to work for. IBM taught me that there is no sense in staying loyal to a bunch of jack@$$ executives who take millions of dollars in bonuses and incentives while continually making our lives harder year over year.
Does this mean the planned RA is cancelled?
