Are chances of RA better/worse if I disclose a disability?

I’ve heard March. Does anyone know when the next round is? I’ve heard Consulting is going to be hit pretty hard.

Having IBM on resume is embarrassing. IBM is filled with dinosaurs who can’t innovate. The only thing IBM is good at is financial engineering. Thats it. So why would anyone want to work for IBM is beyond me.

Someone mentioned that Alvind brought it up at his last office hours I know him and his minions will get 7 and 8 figures I’m expecting very little if any then we will get the excuses

I have not heard anything in a long time on the Power Processor/Server teams. Are they growing or losing people or what ?

Horrible company, they keep on laying off employes. Zero respect for people.

I wonder why. I’ve never seen a cancellation before Is something interesting happening ?

Glad to see the stock rising after clowns in US are getting laid off.
