IBM CEO pay jumps 23% in 2023

You know seriously fuck these guys….IBM guy got nearly $7M in “non-equity incentive plans, travel and security expenses.” That’s on top of his pay and bonus.IBM CEO pay jumps 23% in 2023
And the party extends to shareholders with an overall $6B payout
The craziest thing is that his “compensation” is actually not that wild compared to others. These douchebags are dragging their feet on a $500k order from my team for the last 10 months. Guess they were pinching pennies to cover exec “compensation.”

I fucking hate what corporate-think does to people.
I have a corporate engineer that wants to buy a piece of equipment from me. 110 VAC main hookup that powers a half dozen low voltage DC components (cameras, lights and motors). Customer is on a tight deadline, but we turn around our end of the work (techinical proposal, pricing, etc.) in days, which is fast at this scope.
Weeks later another engineering team at this corporate customer wants to review our design to make sure it meets their design specifications and requirements. The stupidity is that the specs and refs are for a usage case that has nothing to do with our product, BUT are a corporate requirement “for anything with a motor.” “We’ve gotta check this box to get corporate approval…”
In the time that these guys have been dithering and dicking, we could’ve had this built…
/rant. For all I know one of you could work for these jokers. Hell you might be in the meeting tomorrow morning… corporate fucking engineers…

i think that's less of an issue with either of those individuals, but more that sometimes corps get so large the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.
Sometimes it is as if the Right hand does not know the Left hand exists.
That’s only half of it though. The corporate world has everyone so fucking afraid to make a decision…I literally just got done with a 45 min call with 5 people - everyone of them looking for someone else to make the call. It was like the fucking spiderman meme…

And due to consultants and outsourcing, sometimes it doesn't.

Not really. It's just HQ is very secret, so this stuff being said out loud is the only real surprise.

Some Tesla factory workers realized they were laid off when security scanned their badges and sent them back on shuttles, sources say | Business Insider India
Tesla told staff it was conducting layoffs on Sunday night, but some workers realized they were out of a job when security scanned their badges.
Several retail pharmacies recently merged and then closed a bunch of store here because they weren't "demonstrating growth".
Now there aren't sufficient pharmacies and the remaining ones are overwhelmed. They will not even try to fill a prescription until you show up to pick it up, and then it may take days. On my third visit in two weeks standing in a long line getting coughed on trying to pick up a simple prescription.
I am afraid that Amazon pharmacy by mail may be the best option. Because the solution to corporate fuckery is bigger corporate fuckery.

In another sign of the post apocalyptic reality is the fact that I am pretty sure that a lot of this bullshit with the pharmacy is about defeating tweakers and scam artists. "health care" is taking a beating from both ends of the mentally disturbed spectrum.
Our healthcare system is totally the best and stuff

<edit> I asked the security at US Bank about the scan logs and he said nobody had ever looked at them. That was pre pandemic, though.
