This morning I hear knock. When I open door two police ask my name. One slams handful of documents in my chest and says these are your RA papers you fu----g loser. They demand laptop and even pleather backpack. I tell them I no longer have backpack it fell apart. Then they turn apartment upside down. When they no find they kick me in nuts and leave.

To the person who found the HR list on the copy machine.. I surely would escalate that to upper management. What the he--?" post it on the AMA...HR is the absolute worst at IBM --and being that careless.. is not cool. Man I hate this company. Best day of my life was when I walked out that door.

7692 / 24 = 320.5 names per page That’s some 20/20 eye sight

i saw the list which was printed accidently by an hr rep. read a few names on the top, then glanced over about 24 pages before finally seeing the last name on the list at number 7692. so potentially about 7692 folks will RA'ed starting this week. was trying to see if my name was on the list, but then i saw some chic coming over, so i put down the papers back quickly. she was indeed the hr rep.

If RAed you will feel the personality. It will spy on you when you sleep at your desk etc. Your locks will be picked monthly weekly then several times daily. Do not post on Facebook. Close your email. If your brain tingles do not touch water!

You will receive call Wednesday evening while making your toilet. Do not be alarmed. It is only your flm with the news: There has been an RA and you have been affected. Did you think this marriage would last forever?

Are you ready to type the same nonsense next week like you do every week?…how many comment posts are you going to post like you’re having a conversation with yourself again?

Do you put the L sign on your forehead before, during, or after your posts?

Redhat is the golden child within IBM right now. Don’t get your hopes up

Hopefully Red Hat cloud teams because there's way too many outages.

No such luck. They’ll re-org again and put people where they don’t want to work so they quit.

Hopefully the original poster gets RA’d or they already have and just can’t move on. Get a life loser!

Not really.

Please ignore this troll.

He comes here every week and makes a prediction that cuts are about to start.

He's doing this on purpose so people stop to visit this board, in this case the management wins

Unless you can provide some supporting documentation, this rumor is rated 3.5 Pinocchio’s
Aligns with IBM’s end of quarter (nope that would have been the May rumor)
Aligns with a spin off (perhaps but that info would have leaked by now and would you do both or let the spin-off do the RA lifting like Lenovo server deal)
Aligns with new severance (perhaps but that means 30 days pay and walked to the door)
Aligns with partnership (most likely as it’s the WH model, but what do you partner off)
