Thread regarding IBM layoffs

@OP This process is similar to raising farm animals (chickens, cows, pigs) in small battery cages, stables or pens for sla-ghter. They are fed the best food after being born in the pens, stables and cages and live out their lives in confinement until the day they go to the butcher, abbatoir or sla-ghterhouse. The only difference with the IBM process - this time you're doing it to young humans who you keep for 3 to 5 years in a great environment and then chuck them out without warning into the world for no reason other than they became a trifle expensive for the IBM company to keep on the payroll. Use Layoffs or PIPS to get rid of them. Then the company will look for the next batch of humans to recruit until it's their (the young human's) time to move on. It's extreme Capitalism at it's worst but that is what Ms. Nickel and Dime and her HR department are doing as their strategy for IBM growth. Maybe the same needs to be done to these IBM executive people too.

Bob has a new brother Cic whos wicked pissa at coding.

@ba it is completely valid, IBM India HR liar-bot rage-bait troll shill spanky-pants id--t loser parasite.

The same applies to you who is as thick as three planks.

Nickel, the Laughingstock of IBM HR

There once was a woman named Nickel,

From IBM HR, odd and fickle.

She hired a hat,

Shook hands with a cat,

And paid the whole payroll in pickle.

She once sent a memo to toast,

Then praised it for “leading the most.”

She gave pens a raise,

Sang staplers her praise,

And threw a parade for a post.

She is so good at her job!

@ba guess you did not get the memo about IBM execs calling very experienced people "dinobabies" and planning to lay them off. Kettle, meet the pot.

when the conversation devolves into poems mocking an executive's name, it's no longer a serious discussion. If the criticism is valid, it should be able to stand on facts instead of personal ridicule.

The Logic of Nickel

Dear Nickel is not a keen scholar,
She’ll never be worth a whole dollar.
Her bulb has gone dim,
Which makes IBM quite grim,
She's always putting IBM deeper in squalor.

The Dim Coin
A person named Nickel is perfectly fine,
But never quite as bright as a dime.
Their thoughts are all copper,
Their logic improper,
They simply don't sparkle or shine.

A hundred rats were eaten and the cat went to Hajj !

LOL, that is the BS artist, Nickel and Dime for you ! Sounds just like our good bot buddy, IBM India HR liar-bot rage-bait troll shill spanky-pants id--t loser parasite.

Don't take this warning from Mama LaMoreaux lightly... She has said it, the well will dry up in 3 -5 years, and she means it... So who is in the well ? The senior folks who have significant tenure with IBM whether by choice or being bought.. Writing is on the wall or the well whichever way you want to put it - You guys are not needed anymore here in 3-5 years, we will push with selling our good for nothing products by creating the hype around AI and Quantum and use the naive entry level hires who we can easily blue wash...

HR Ghouls like Nickel and Dime should put the human back into it

सौ चूहे खाके बिल्ली हज को चली !

"If we don’t continue to invest in entry-level hires, what happens in 3–5 years? There’s no pipeline; the well simply dries up."

Good job IBM by keeping the pipeline ready to put people on PIP in 3-5 years when they have served their purpose and are no longer needed.

Holy he-l the HR system now is a disaster. If this is product we are selling we are in trouble. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen
