I really don’t know why so many IBMers talk all this shit. Leave, then! If you hate it so much, you know where the door is! The likelihood of that they are mostly lazy and unmarketable and just want to blame the world for the fact that they aren’t going anywhere. Don’t complain that IBM isn’t great, and then do NOTHING to change it. I like my job. I like my team. I even like my management. Of course there is a lot of change that needs to happen to successfully turn this company around and maybe one day be a cutting edge innovator respected by the market and our peers, but people like the ones I see in this post are a problem we need to get past before we ever get there. I truly encourage you all to quit; if you don’t want to quit because you can’t get a job elsewhere, then maybe try to add some value and stop complaining.
It’s pretty immature to go through ones professional life just running away, especially when one gets beyond the age of 30 and starts to build influence in the organization. But hey, can’t expect someone from Amazon to give a shit about their work.
Ask Arvind why there is bloat? He's been part of that bloat for decades. No one could dare ask him that question because it would just be like insulting him straight to his face lmao

1. Maybe 1st get rid of all the exec layers which are not needed?
2. Before comparing to airbnb he should look at their dev salaries
Arvind has been svp for long and he is one of "them".
So he either doesn't have a clue or dgaf
