IBM is not anything at all like it used to be
IBM is not anything at all like it used to be
IBM has lots of very talented and hard-working people. There is a wealth of technical knowledge within the company.
IBM seems to be focused solely on the bottom line. The company no longer seems interested in maintaining a competitive advantage through technical innovation or by attracting and retaining top technical talent.
IBM is bleeding away talented people through resource actions (aka layoffs) and people leaving on their own initiative. The remaining people are expected to carry the ever-growing workload with fewer resources after losing strong, experienced people.
Also, the periodic layoffs strip away any sense of job security.
Stop focusing on the bottom line.
Make it a priority to attract and retain top technical talent.
Use technical excellence and innovation to create and keep a competitive edge.
