Thread regarding IBM layoffs

6 Months In - Ready To Leave

I am entering my 6th month here. When I joined I thought that IBM need to fix a few things, to re-align, and to catch up with the rest of the technology giants (Apple, Google, etc.)

But after a few months here it's clear that no such attempt is being made, the executive line-up does not want to attract talent. They are cheap, nickle-diming employees, cannibalizing it's own workforce.

There is no long term thinking, it's a dog eats dog world, laced with career traps and full of backstabbing activities. IBM is a total disaster and I cannot wait to bail.

IBM typically only hires the following (non-exec/manager): recent college grad or H1-B/offshore. Most experienced hires come aboard via acquisitions. I suspect you are a recent college grad.

At any rate, one thing is constant, all will be RA'd if you are there long enough.

I walked last year. It's one big scam. Everyone is cooking the books and trying to present this external view that everything is peachy. It's a mental asylum and completely disfunctional.
