@3zmp+16T38qdP – Agreed.
AK's Office Hours should be re-titled to "Orifice Hours", as it's obvious where this cr*p is coming from. AK, if you're listening: Get Woke, Go Broke.

Arvinds office hours are f$(#in useless only used to make tough announcements like no raises for employees and then he does his sjw sh– instead of being transparent about strategy and business.

Why would anyone want to know what kind of coffee he drinks. Everything ibm does is useless waste of time

I worked with a new hire that had a masters degree in math about 3 years ago . This kid came right out of college and IBM had high hopes but talk about lazy ! We ended up firing him after 3 years by catching him playing games hour after hour at work . He never put the extra mile in .

It comes down to 1 thing, PASSION. I don't care if you have a 10 year degree from MIT or no college. If you have the passion to become great in your field of work, YOU WILL SUCCEED and the majority will surpass in time, anyone with a degree and no passion.

Hmmmm. Not in today's IBM. It's more of who you know than anything else that will allow you to SUCCEED.

Employers must provide upward mobility for anyone to even care about the clients/job.

Why is she still writing Op-Eds and appearing on CNBC instead of Arvind? Ride off into the sunset already.

Not every job requires a degree. Obviously. But this sounds like a naked attempt to just get cheaper onshore labor for whatever can't get moved to India.
