Thread regarding IBM layoffs

I got this one on my IBM mail? Go figure? Someone in Sales should be fired.

IBM's commitment to cloud technologies has never been stronger and we have worked with some of the leading open source concepts to create a number of innovative solutions. The results are evident in how quickly our clients are adopting both hybrid and cloud. I would love to learn more about your key initiatives and share with you IBM's view on cloud, hybrid and open source.

Please let me know what works best for you in the next few weeks. I look forward to hearing from you.

@lex and @mvg - made me laugh. Yeah, it's stupid indeed... Literally took me 10 min to decipher the email, imagine someone receiving this trying to figure out what the author intended to say

Probably the fact that the IBM seller was dumb enough to send it to a fellow IBMer.

What in particular is it that bothers you? The fact that it is gobbledeespeak taking many words to say nothing or the fact that the author thinks the recipient will need weeks to decipher the nonsense contained therein and then make decision as to whether they want to talk. Quality takes time at IBM especially in the summer and when nobody really gives a damn.
