Thread regarding IBM layoffs

How to sell a bad product?

I was lucky enough to get a new opportunity very quickly because it became impossible to work here.

IBM makes impossible demands and doesn't realize that it's impossible to sell something no one wants.

Instead of the company thinking about how and why it has such bad products, no, here all the blame is placed on those who fail to sell them.

I have to agree with you and Red Hat that CloudPaks are pointless...
Now, what is even more pointless than the CloudPaks is really OpenShift.
What is the point of OpenShift when you can use Kubernetes for free?

How about IBM Cloud Paks ?

Last year on an internal call a Red Hat sales person was telling us how they're pointless.

IBM cares about developers that's why they get moved to other products.
In reality, IBM doesn't know how to do real software development. In name of Agile and use of fancy tools, what comes out is low quality , unreliable garbage which requires ton of hardware to run that market doesn't want.
Product management which is what it is called now is another joke as product manager have no experience in domain or market they are supposed to create products for and don't know what really market wants.
Mantra is make it stick in ELA and then call it success ,doesn't matter if it ever gets deployed or not.
Better buy new products via acquisitions than developing inhouse .

Ibm doesn't care about developers and sellers and they're laid off when things don't go well while managers are moved around.
Most of the products have no direction, with constant layoffs, reshuffling etc. And no product managers how can there be a good product?

They know it’s bad. But they realize they can’t change it so force you to the miracle of selling it.
