What Ginni is trying to do is right; the executive tiers are completely undermining her at every turn.
Pros: If you happen to work for a manager who likes you, you'll be fine.  If you happen to work in Asia-Pac or India (where IBM is moving jobs to -- cheaper), you'll be fine.  If you work in a part of the business that's growing, you'll be fine.
Cons: If you work for a manager who doesn't like you, if you work in a location IBM is moving jobs away from, or in a part of the business that's not growing, you need to be looking to work elsewhere, before IBM "encourages you to leave."  And salary/compensation are simply awful.
