So long, farewell, etc.

A brief goodbye, I'm leaving IBM (by choice) and moving on to newer and better pastures.

Things I'll miss about this board:

The supportive people offering encouragement to those forced out or those gathering the nerve to leave, especially the ones who've been at IBM a long time.

Things I won't miss:

The people who think they know how to run the business and have no freakin' clue. They're mostly the ones posting "IBM should sell this or that" without any idea why anybody would want to buy it. You sound like taxi drivers who think they should be running the country.

The people who think that their situation is everybody else's fault, whether its Indians or new hires or younger people or Band 10s or nepotism or a liberal conspiracy of woke quota tokenism... We all agree that there's a lot of deadwood in IBM, and you know what? If you're constantly complaining about how badly IBM is treating you compared to everybody else, it might well be you. If you're so valuable, go get a better job. Apple is hiring.

The casual racism, and the fact that the board's admins seem fine with it. Remember the guy who posted that the DE title went to he-l when they started letting Indians in? Or the who posted that "Indians only hire Indians"? Seriously, are you all OK with that sh-t?

Anyway, not my problem any more. Auf Wiedersehn, goodbye.

“ and you know what? If you're constantly complaining about how badly IBM is treating you compared to everybody else, it might well be you. If you're so valuable, go get a better job. Apple is hiring.”

Amen mate. Cheers to that.

"Or the who posted that "Indians only hire Indians"? Seriously, are you all OK with that sh-t? "

If it's a fact, it's a fact.

Racism by definition contains an element of one group being superior to another.

Nothing about the above statement says anything about superiority/inferiority based on race.

If a problem can be observed to be in a particular group, of any sort, race, gender, herterogenous groups that band together like dr-g gangs, whatever it may be, then calling at such is just fact, not racism, or whatever other *-isms you wish to call it.

"woke quota tokenism..." is just reverse racism. That's why the term is slowly but surely taking on negative connotations.

"The people who think that their situation is everybody else's fault, "... Nobody is truly an island. Things would be grand if the only thing that mattered is what each of us wanted and did...

Truth is... there's an interaction among all players, and all players aren't in the same boat... they are in the same ocean, and each has a different boat.

If your a row boat (worker bee), and a cruise liner (power from above, macro trends, etc.) steams over your bow... you're S outta Luck, LOL!

"The casual racism,"... no worse than legal reverse racism. Perhaps less so. At least it carries no legal weight backed by enforcement.

At the moment, seems to me the only true systemic racism is anti-white. Jim Crow was struck down ages ago, however "woke quotas", etc. are little more than systemic reverse racism.

Thanks for stopping by.
