• "IBM is in palliative care on its way to hospice care. The vision seems to be just buy other software companies and in turn buy those customers and have them consume IBM solutions by clicking icons on IBM/AWS clouds. No more need for sales people, certainly not in the US unless Federal customers." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1jrw6p1yn

Started with IBM over 40 yrs ago. It is now far beyond incompetence; it truly now is evil and designed to wear you down and force you out mentally and physically.

• "Started with IBM over 40 years ago. Amazing place. Smart people, great and honest and well trained managers in the IBM WAY. Now IBM is the Peter Principle x1000. Honestly IBM is dying and EVERYONE should have an ongoing exit strategy so hopefully you can leave on your terms and not IBMs. EVERYONE at IBM has a bullseye on their back and it is just a matter of time until your time is up." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1jrjwva52

• "The Peter Principle states that in a hierarchy, people tend to be promoted to their level of incompetence. In simpler terms, someone who is good at their current job gets promoted to a position where they're no longer competent, and they remain in that higher position even though they're not performing well" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1jrjwva52
