I'm glad someone finally mentioned it here. I also have a huge problem because the manager doesn’t understand what I’m doing. Communicating with him is a nightmare. It is awfully hard to speak to a non-technical person about development. (*The fact... — read more

Was anyone (vaccine non-compliant) put into unpaid leave of absence? I only heard their badges were deactivated. That works for those who really want permanent remote work.

It's starting to frustrate me a bit. Do we really need so many layers of management? I think that IBM would breathe easier if it were to get rid of most of them.

Rumors in Austin that GDP will be record high 5-15%, is that really true, just hallway talk so far, fingers crossed , finally turning the corner

Announced today. Thoughts? The timing of this seems rather curious.

Sick of hearing oblivious excuses from leadership and execs. What IBM really needs is a revolution, and not exactly an evolution.
