thanks bankelele for the job advertising. Would you also consider giving us lower levels of professions other than the senior positions.
Bankelele,
He he he, IBM is so full of it, I work for a Bank in the US and they came on site to push this stuff - i consider it Crapolla as they keep saying "by 2015 ...."
IBM is a company thats trying to push Software, Hardware and Services and what they say may or may not be true for 2006 .... but is not true for IBM as a company. I dont think this rules are only true for a bank, they are true for any customer centric business
can you tell a company to honestly plan for 2015 ... thats 9 years away .. what about next quarter and SOX ?
They are trying to reposition themselves, but I dont see companies buying AIX, DB2, Websphere and Tivoli that much
IBM sells you software thats hard to use, you get very expensive stuff/consultants who also struggle and learn too much on the job
IBM is GM like - they have to drop the dead weight and they may survive Open Source, Microsoft and other challenges
:)
Interesting to hear it from the horse's mouth (IBM).
What i don't get is the new workforce. Is IBM begrudging their current workforce? Bukusu?
