09:08 schestowitz[TR2]; Yes, I agree, still too many high level managers in the company. Then most of them are really totally useless. AK, could easily cleaned that up and double his bonus, so what is the delay AK? I just don't get it.

09:08 schestowitz[TR2]; You could make some broad assumptions the other way, and see what pops out
09:08 schestowitz[TR2]; Lets assume there are 1/2 as many execs and other bands above the Cs and Ds so approx 2000. Lets also assume there are 2x as many managers and execs below the Cs and Ds or 8000. Thats
09:08 schestowitz[TR2]; 8k + 4k + 2k = 14k worth of the USA head count or approx 33% are in management. Who thinks any company can survive with a management burden of 1/3

09:08 schestowitz[TR2]; Using your numbers, you are saying there are 4000 Cs and Ds within the USA. If true, there is way too much top heaviness in IBM management and a 10% hair cut doesnt even approach what trimming needs to happen. Meta cut 1/3 of their management staff and they are making money hand over fist. AK GET to WORK A 50% trimming is not unreasonable

09:08 schestowitz[TR2]; Approx. 10% of D's & C's were de-banded or fired for not relocating to offices 3 days a week, this year alone ~400 execs - about time & good riddance!

09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; " The Indians might have the manpower but the local corruption and unnecessary bureaucracy are the stuff of nightmares and a huge barrier to any new business, unless you have a lot of money to grease a lot of palms (bribes) . That is why the smart and hard working people look to leave the country and go elsewhere. But they take their corrupt practices when they leave.
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; You don't see the corruption in the other countries like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea at the same level as you do in India.
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; Indians try and push their sc--wed up and corrupt business practices on everyone else when they come to the US. Try and get a tourist visa to India from any one of the different consulates in the US and you'll see what I mean. Fees, fees and more fees even for an on-line visa. And add to that delays and excuses for delays. A total scam and so, I suggest giving the place a wide miss even if it has some of the best tourist destinatio
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; ns.
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; The Indians have done the same garbage with IBM. Palmisano got it wrong, Rometty did worse and the BS continues with Krishna ! Cheap does not mean quality and the id--ts mentioned think that the games will continue forever, but all good things come to an end. IBM will too.

09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; i wonder why these smart hard-working indians don't just create their own companies
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; they have the manpower
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; even tiny Taiwan can do it
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; so can South Korea
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; so can Japan
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; also i am trying to figure out what new fields in math and science these smart hard-working indians have created that we get to learn about in the US
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; the taking appears to be very one-sided
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; at best in the US it benefits skillless and not very important bankers

09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; It is not racism when your US Middle class parents are paying taxes to the crooked politicians in Washington and yet AK, RT and Nickel and Dime are moving the plum development assignments to India to H1B via holders. That is outrageous and very unfair to Americans. Why should this be happening and H1B jobs go to India ? Why don't they do that to AK's job and some of the crooked exec jobs like those of JK, RT, JW, JA and the rest. I
09:09 schestowitz[TR2]; s India giving US IBM employees anything back in terms of financial remuneration for the jobs they steal ? I never saw that happen in Consulting. US jobs should not be given to India under any circumstances. We are not India's slave. The bottom line is that US jobs should stay in the US. Anyone feeling they would like to get Indian jobs should migrate and live there. I guarantee that anyone going to India will be sorely disappointe

09:56 IsambardPrince; In a country with a lot of guns, and ammunition literally in vending machines in some states. Not a good combo.
09:57 IsambardPrince; The tech industry is full of fraud and it's only getting worse.
09:58 IsambardPrince; Every time you hear about some new scam it's some Indian guy at the helm of it all. Like this recent debacle where people thought they were putting money in a bank and it wasn't a bank so sorry.
09:58 IsambardPrince; $300 million goes "missing" and the Fed and the FDIC and the bankruptcy people say "Sorry. There's no law against that."

10:01 IsambardPrince; In other words, many people lost their life savings because.
