IBM

As long as you're not an IBM GTS employee or a GBS employee like me working on an IBM GTS project, everything else looks fine.

As a GBS Employee, you have a lot of perks like:

• Bluepoints with which you can buy things.
• Free subscription to Udemy (everyone) and Coursera (only if you're part of AI studies).
• Good corporate structure to curb micromanagement.
• Good work-life balance.
• GBS associates have numerous learning opportunities, which is quite different for a GTS employee.

There's no clear-cut demarcation that IBM GBS employees working with GTS clients (future NewCo) will continue to be IBM GBS employees and support NewCo projects. This is not fair for a GBS employee who had to sit for an arduous coding interview only to be considered later (if taken under NewCo without consent) along with GTS associates, who would have joined with a non-coding background. All the sleepless nights spent on studying, toiling, and studying numerous frameworks and languages in efforts to bear a good brand name on their resume would all be gone in a single minute. It's such a morale-pulling act during these bleak COVID times.

Let GBS employees working in GTS projects continue to work under IBM GBS, since we bring to the table a gamut of coding skills garnering higher revenue for the company. Consider this as this spin-off is unrolling.
