Thread regarding IBM layoffs

Your Raise Is Now Based on Next Year’s Performance

"Employers are trying to predict how well employees will do in the future."

And the converse also holds true then: predicting how poorly employees will do so RA lists can auto-generated by the machine. . .

I’m still standing. I’m in my 60’s, making my number, getting paid well, good managers. Doesn’t change the fact that our CEO s---s donkey and will ride this train clear to the ground. For the record, she ain’t goin nowhere... would you if you were paid 100m per year?

Here is a thought, if AI is intelligent, why would it want to work for IBM, it does not need money . as for predicting Future how well Employees will do, it falls back to management of the company and what they decide to do choices good and bad that cannot be predicted.. The current state would not be favorable..

At IBM, when performance review time rolls around, employees get judged not only on their past

accomplishments (and failures) but also on how they might perform in the future. How can IBM predict

the future? In a word: Watson.

Using artificial intelligence, Watson Analytics looks at an employee’s experiences and projects to infer

the potential skills and qualities each person might have to serve IBM in the future. Watson also scours

IBM’s internal training system to see if an employee has gained new skills. Managers then take

Watson’s assessment rating into account as they make bonus, pay and promotion decisions.

If this will somehow lead to virtual AI robot managers, then I'm all for it! Clean-out the middle management bloat once and for all.

IBM, for one, says it can’t find enough candidates with the right skills to fill its jobs, especially for its

technology roles.

Perhaps they shouldn't have RA'd all those highly skilled, loyal folks over the past ~25 years.
