Message just received on the Facebook ibmsux page: I am an IBM employee in the RTP area and have received no info on the CEO visit to RTP. Would someone please post a copy of any emails or info they have about this visit?

grew up behind the iron curtain - we'd get stuff like this in schools when the party officials were visiting us. sick and so fake. hubris level 100
There should be a wave of Blue Flu the day she is scheduled to visit. What do you all have to lose at the point. Maybe some middle management will take the hit.
cook something really foul and bring it to the work floor and give it to her as a gift of appreciation.
I wonder what she thought of all the empty cubicles.
That place is a ghost town now.
We've been asked to hold our breath between 2 and 2:45 in case GR and her entourage require extra oxygen while traveling through our work area, where we will be busy looking busy and agile. And as young as possible.
"Act normally! Ginni and the team are here to see what Austin is really like. " LOL Right. Just don't talk to them, interact in any way unless spoken to. Actors will fill your seat pretending to be happy and productive if you are out. What a crock. Reminds me of the Sting movie. They should have hired a cast for the entire floor. So, why does Jr. management want to paint a rosy picture wit what is essentially a staged set? Dolts
Curious about Austin. How was the visit?

Someone had posted an email in /r/IBM on Reddit this morning ... wish I had saved it before the bluewasher came.
What I remember:
-
Don't approach her (or her group) unless they make the first move.
-
No selfies, elevator pitches, trying to bump into her at the water cooler or restroom.
-
Full attendance ... if you're OOO let your manager know and they'll get someone to fill your work spot.
They are out visiting all the centers this summer.
We were told not to discuss anything with the press this week.
Translation= we don't want anyone knowing how we are F'n over the city/state/employees.
Sorry, but that cat has been out of the bag for several years now.
As if anyone would really listen to some manager telling us to keep a lid on it.
I wonder if Father Guido Sarducci is leeching along this time. He cracks me up.
By invite only--guess you were not invited.
