Employment status: current

Great in the past but the 2015 plan is destroying the company.
Pros: The variety of work is amazing.
The diversity of people you work with is a great outcome from past diversity programs. 
Sick Leave really helps out when you need it and so far has avoided the cuts. 
Still good on the resume but that is suffering. 
Worked here for 15 years and hope to survive 5 more.
Cons: The 2015 Road Kill(RoadMap) has the focus of senior management who have the most to gain from the share price hike and this is to the detriment of the IBM's employees, clients and long term viability of the company. 
The span of control is crazy and I have the greatest respect for the 1st line managers here trying to keep the business going and the team together.  
Senior management in Oz think they are leading, they are just feathering their own nest and following Ginni and her exec teams direction. 
The workload is not sustainable and sending more work to low skilled workers is not the answer.
The hiring process has been busted for years and no one is fixing it. I have seen many good senior resource managers fail to fix this. 
Management feedback surveys have ceased. . . I know there is a good reason for that.
