Hi all
Current employee in consulting
Want to share messages I received from my top leadership today (July 26) which is already in effect for Q3:
God bless all!
So when there is a hiring freeze, the answer should be simple. Dont perform the work that is absolutely necessary or must have. Upper Management wants us to prioritize, which means only do the work who cries out LOUD or LOUDEST... This is what the upper management expect us to work, i.e. prioritize only that is most important, all other work should or will not be performed.
You must be new at IBM. This happens in Q3 every year. This is not news folks.
Our team was in the process of interviewing candidates in India to fill the role of a US teammate that left. We were informed about a week ago that a hiring freeze was put in place. So it’s affecting India as well. Or at least a US based team from hiring in India.
Kick anyone with Partner or Alliance in their title to the curb
Dump all the security and compliance PM's
@vgd - Seriously. Get rid of them. My experience with most Managers at IBM has been that they have delusions of grandeur, are entitled, lazy, and about as useful as teats on a boar hog!
Great. Now cut all of Middle Management. That house deserves to be cleaned.
