02:30 schestowitz[TR2]; To the OP my question is who is enforcing these RTO policies? I assume your mgr. We employees were told to come in 3 days most of us came in 2 except the Architect. When RAs came around we were all let go and he was saved!! Old boys club. So thats why Im curious if mgrs are holding other mgrs accountable in RTO.

02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; considers his next election victory to be a lifetime appointment.
02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; Heh heh, he has to get elected again first.
02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; And he expects to live a long time.
02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; Strong Thurman lived to be 100. And had a mixed race child with a black woman. Trump has accomplished neither yet. So he's got a lot of catching up to do.

02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; Trump is more of an evil troll than the a--clown who started this thread. Both are very pathetic people.

02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; IBM management is liquidating IBM assists, buying back shares to inflate the price, only fools can hold to IBM stock. At $190, dump it.

02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; @nnn+1tUhYsUr I understand that Trump considers his next election victory to be a lifetime appointment. And he expects to live a long time.

02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; Anybody can bolster the stock price over a relatively period. This takes no skill - just a lack of conscience. And can it be sustained? Of course not. Sam Palmisano tried this too and almost destroyed IBM. Arvind is just Sam with a sh---y mustache.
02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; IBM's approach is to eat the seed corn and pretend like there is more where that came from. But there is not; once they layoff all of that "expensive" talent from the US, India is incapable of replacing it. Arvind turns a blind eye to this because he will be long gone before that hits the fan.
02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; Trump did a similar during his presidency - he doubled the national debt and the stock market sung his praises. Once he left, Biden was left holding the bag - when you mint that much money there is always inflation.
02:33 schestowitz[TR2]; Trump is like Arvind; uses only short-term-thinking, knowing the person who is left holding the bag of sh-t will be blamed as it takes a couple of years before the metrics reflect the deep damage that was done.
