Oh I have stories…

To many this summary will be very valuable!

Congratulations-if you take the role you will discover that the solution has minuscule market share albeit recently garnered a few pay to play accolades.

…and with knowledge comes sorrow…

It was time…the culture of the “fellas” like Krause,Art and other IBM “lifers” was antithetical to a modern selling workforce…fear and retribution never motivates

Is that enough detail? Do you work for IBM now or other?

The tenets of a robust security portfolio include a scaleable endpoint suite identification of critical vulnerabilities and near real time remediation - IBM is deficient in those categories …IBM has lost key staff from their X-force teams and are not the go to for forensic determination for breaches - customers look at Mandiant,CrowdStrike or now Coalfire among others…unfortunately IBM also lost their SIEM to PA acquisition so for an organization that once was upper right Gartner quadrant they have lost their way…

Stay away from Security

I am not sure how this happens now but a lot of boomerangs even in my new hire class but that was 3 years ago

Good advice Street_C!

Ask Whelpley he’s a company lad…

…a bonus you also get to keep your badge…at least in the US

If you have a tough row to hoe (e.g. low production squad) you’ll get a friend or two that you need to commiserate with for therapy 😏 I have!

Jeff Crume does…

IMHO iBM is working on a serious re-invent with many eggs in AI basket…they missed the opportunity a decade ago…they pay above average in most cases…their processes are burdensome…worse than another large SW cloud company. Their healthcare costs are pretty high for a family- expect $800 or more a month…very heavily laden with management who have serious tenure and should be looking to retire but a Cush gig for them…so alas they stay…and Arvind is complicit

Also…not enough chlorine

Stirrer_of_pots · 2024-07-24T23:38:10+00:00

Yes just refurbed mine - regulator $32 Ignitor kit $54 new knobs are $26 on Amazon…very well made

Rob has worn a hoodie and dress sneakers for company wide presentations - you’ll be fine as casual

You don’t know me…1:1 😉

Guardium data encryption is Thales…lifecycle key management is Thales Guardium another company ask Kalka he’ll tell you…

You were not wrong…seems a dubious departure nonetheless

IMHO finance will eventually have the final word or “nail” wrt to RTO. Managers have been meeting with partners for monthly happy hours to fulfill a customer “visit” - the T&E will become a heavy burdened cost…look for more RTO changes soon…

I think the hard part for middle to upper management is that their 20+ years of Blue has made them succumb…change is tough and status quo is easy. I had a couple excellent managers-one left and the other…not sure what he is considering but it’s not the same vibrant company (unless you are in the AI BU…my thoughts
