Thread regarding IBM layoffs

The company survives with accounting gimmicks and propaganda. That tells you where their ethics are: and Hollywood false front on a western set.

@f6 The moderators deleted the post about how my old manager was fired on drummed-up fake BCG violations for helping a laid off employee with his portfolio, a practice that was standard and had the blessing of her VP, Jill the Swill in Matt Loathsome's team.

This is how they clawed back her B10, an IBMer of 35 trees and denied her severance, healthcare and more. HR treated this like it was a "sting operation" when she thought she was following standing orders that had the full support of Jill the Swill - who let it happen. This manager was a gem - caring and deeply ethical in all ways. She was in her mid 50s; IBM typically likes to destroy careers once you turn 60.

Shame on the moderators for deleting a post on ethics that documents the levels of depravity committee by IBM under Arvind.

Ethics and morals are a mirage at IBM. They want you to believe they are real and here but in actual practice and execution it’s fake and not real

Ethics waved bye bye a long time ago at ibm

There is a saying, if a tree falls in a forest and there is no-one to hear it, does it make a sound.

You could argue the same about ethics violations in IBM.

Arrey yaar, no chance! These people will take your hard work, put their own name on it, and then act as if they did the whole thing themselves. Wah, what a shameless fellow!

Ethics at IBM? In name only. The company has no shortage of policies, documentation, and formal procedures outlining its ethical standards. The problem is enforcement. In practice, these principles appear to be applied selectively, often depending on whether they serve the interests of senior leadership. Too often, in everyday reality, ethical guidelines at IBM are treated as optional recommendations rather than standards that must be upheld and enforced consistently.

Is ethical erosion occurring at IBM?
Yes.
