Pros

1st and 2nd line managers truly care about their direct reports. Many learning options are available for IBM tools.

Cons

Senior IBM executives don't care about lower-level employees.

They have and use many tools to lay off employees. It seems like a regular/rotating process.

The level of legal/security/process overkill limits work agility.

Advice to Management

For my immediate managers, 1st and 2nd line: keep doing what you're doing. Great job!

Find ways to keep your teams contributing to the bottom line. It seems that dollar signs are the only thing senior executives care about.
