Many big companies are investing in AI to replace people, not fix problems. Try getting anything internal from a human anymore. It's all internal bots. It's easier to sell when you can say "We can replace 90% of your HR department" vs "It will help you find bugs and develop features faster". I'm a bit cynical, but I see it happening everyday.

Retired IBM manager here. This has nothing to do with working together. This is another attempt by IBM to get rid of the older workers (again). Most teams are scattered across the world, and in the US they are all over the place. It's just another "Resource Action" targeted at older workers disguised as some kind of great idea to be more productive.

As a recently retired IBMer, I would love to know what the think of IBM today vs when they worked there.

Yueyinpu Wireless Foot Pedal. Had it about a year and no issues so far!

MobileSheets, a cheap foot pedal, and a Fire Tablet work just fine for me. I use genius scan on my Pixel 7 to grab digital images of the music.

I am a manager that has been full-time WAH for 15+ years. A leader who understands their role should be empowering people to do their jobs, and providing them the tools they need to do it, be it in the office, at home, or on another planet even. That's what leaders do. If they think their job is to monitor and micromanage their teams, then they are not leaders, just bad managers. Leaders see the value in employees creating a situation where they increase their productivity. I really don't care where my employees work as long as they meet clearly defined goals and objectives. They know what they need to do, and I trust them to figure out how best to accomplish it!

Oh you have no idea how welcome this is. As a member of the National Guard, we are expected to use our own personal equipment to access DoD websites. It is a constant battle of certificates that are not recognized, expired, many other things. The Army maintains a gold image for all active duty computers, but us silly part time soldiers who try to use our own equipment are completely screwed.

Just this month alone I have been 'mandated' to sign multiple documents and complete on-line courses that I can not access due to the Army's making everything only Microsoft compatible. So many sites are years old still making ancient calls to Internet Explorer functions.

The simple act of fixing the certificate issues would eliminate half the frustration right now. The second thing they need to do is mandate that any site has to operate with all the major browsers, and not just ancient versions of IE.
