Pros

IBM has completely lost direction. The company has forgotten what it was good at.

The CEO is selling spin and vaporware.

Existing customers are paying the price for executive mismanagement.

Executives are too busy stuffing their pockets and trying to buy the next Facebook or Google.

Cons

Employees are not valued and treated as commodities.

All employees are just waiting for the next round of enforced layoffs or searching the job ads.

Advice to Management

Lower and middle management should grow a pair.

Upper management and executives should move on.

Split the company up and sell it to someone who values the existing customer base.

Oh no, you can't do that because you are too busy milking the business to pay for your bonuses and try to pick the next winner.
