This will be the final nail in the coffin:
The company is massively hated from within, morale and motivation are gone.
Also, Lizzard Queen, mighty funny
I'd really like to see what new propaganda BS this is, but I can't view forbes pages due to them not allowing ad blockers. Everyone should run the noscript add-on to their browsers to avoid your computer getting crapped up and relentless ads. I'm sure this "massive competitive advantage" is just more BS. Watson is a sham and Google are about to even further surpass IBM in AI/cognitive as well as cloud with the new initiatives they just announced. IBM just announced a bunch of new crap that is just the old dysfunctional products relabeled with new names. Customers are leaving in droves, and they aren't selling much new business. The new press releases they are issuing about the new jobs being created are more BS, just to get state tax breaks or fend off criticism of the firings. The jobs don't exist, for the most part. The openings are just a sham. The company is massively hated from within, morale and motivation are gone. Dinosaurs die slowly, and this one has been wallowing in the tar pit for way too long. Only show is a massive overhaul of the top leadership, starting with the Lizard Queen.
Is it that it has a long history and culture of reinvention and outstanding management?
