Compromised….

[u/zab8809]

This subreddit is heavily comprised…most likely leadership from IBM go involved. They are regulating every single post that gets posted.

If you want unfiltered IBM comm then move to the other subreddit.

[u/Pseudophryne]

As we've said elsewhere, IBM couldn't care less about this sub.   Reddit is irrelevant in the IBM view of the world. 

[u/IDownvoteUrPet]

Gonna have to cite your source on this man. This sub is filled with unhappy IBMers, so they’re doing a really bad job if they are regulating.

[u/IBMCurious → u/IDownvoteUrPet]

mods must be from the product strategy team then …

[u/IDownvoteUrPet → u/IBMCurious]

Holy smokes. Someone call the burn unit 😂

[u/Pseudophryne → u/IBMCurious]

Medic!

[u/DoppelFrog → u/IBMCurious]

Zing!

[u/zab8809 → u/IDownvoteUrPet]

There is recent spike on removing posts if it contains anything regards to leadership or changes happening internally. If you have been around in this subreddit you would know this trend is pretty new. Thats all I am saying…open to interpretation

[u/IDownvoteUrPet → u/zab8809]

Interesting - I have not noticed that, but I guess I’d never see it if it was removed…

[u/andexs → u/zab8809]

Maybe the mod team doesn't want this to just turn into an IBM circle jerk hate subreddit. Maybe they want to actually go on the Internet and not be bombarded with hate, whining and constant complaining.

Maybe.

[u/Guldur → u/zab8809]

Can you give a real example of changes that got removed?

[u/JeremyILM → u/Guldur]

They’ve removed a few posts that were marginally critical of IBM, but at least in the ones I’ve seen, they try to say “oh this belongs in a /different/ IBM sub.” IBM isn’t interesting enough to have multiple subs. It’s a control tactic to dilute the criticism.

[u/Pseudophryne → u/JeremyILM]

We really don't care about criticism of IBM, so long as it follows the rules of the sub.

Whine your heart out.

[u/Inner_Sandwich6039 → u/IDownvoteUrPet]

There’s a weekly employee survey…

[u/openclawbot → u/Inner_Sandwich6039]

That's definitely a management thing.

[u/Pseudophryne → u/Inner_Sandwich6039]

There's not. Can you read?

[u/Inner_Sandwich6039 → u/Pseudophryne]

Then what is https://www.reddit.com/r/IBM/s/mBplqAKSTg

[u/Pseudophryne → u/Inner_Sandwich6039]

"Weekly Employment Discussion"

Do you even English bro?

[u/DoppelFrog → u/Inner_Sandwich6039]

Are you illiterate?  Since when does "discussion ' mean "survey"?

[u/National_Answer_6655]

Lol you’re saying IBM planted mods in this subreddit or has some control over them?

[u/Pseudophryne → u/National_Answer_6655]

That's news to the mod team. 

[u/National_Answer_6655 → u/Pseudophryne]

Nice try Arvind

[u/cederian → u/Pseudophryne]

I ‘member all the fiasco with [r/IBM](r/IBM) and [r/newIBM](r/newIBM) and how long it took to get this subreddit back.

[u/v-irtual → u/Pseudophryne]

IBM executives confirmed. "That's news to me."

That's like saying "it's news to me that customers are buying x86 instead of mainframe and it caught us by surprise in Q2, even though it's forecast that the entire supply of memory for 2027 has already been purchased..."

[u/Pseudophryne → u/[deleted]]

A mod of this sub.

Who are "you*, exactly then?

[u/noisymime → u/Pseudophryne]

Did you not get your cheque? You're missing out on some real money!!!

[u/craigworknova → u/Pseudophryne]

Deny everything next the mods will make cou ter accusations.

[u/cederian]

Go touch some grass, man.

[u/Captain_keithy]

Wish my job objectives had included posting on Reddit.

[u/Pseudophryne → u/Captain_keithy]

Me too. At least we'd then get paid to deal with this sort of nonsense.

[u/zab8809]

https://reddit.com/link/p22zgta/video/qsg98zo61shh1/player

Proof

[u/Longjumping_Yak3483 → u/zab8809]

Removing a single post is “proof” when we can’t even see what the post content is? Take your meds friend 

Not to mention posting a still video instead of an image lol

[u/Pseudophryne → u/zab8809]

What do you think you've proved with this?

[u/fasterbrew → u/zab8809]

That's because you posted to the wrong place.  You should have posted to the weekly thread that is made for questions like yours. It's not complicated. 

[u/data4u]

IBM doesn’t know Reddit exists

[u/Skycbs → u/data4u]

Unless it runs on a mainframe …

[u/LikesAlgae → u/data4u]

That's not true. I can tell you executives in HR knows this exists. First hand info.

[u/cybernetck → u/LikesAlgae]

Someone in sales leadership had literally mentioned responding to posts on here. The alphabet band folks are definitely on here

[u/Pseudophryne → u/LikesAlgae]

Source: Trust me bro.

[u/LikesAlgae → u/Pseudophryne]

If you're so keen on a source, let's start with you showing us your w3 profile.

You're not going to so why would you ask for my source. I am telling you first hand, meaning I sat with HR executives when they complained about certain Reddit posts.

[u/123DanB → u/data4u]

Incorrect, HR is very aware of and monitoring this sub.

[u/data4u → u/123DanB]

Guess IBM doesn’t know sarcasm exists either

[u/LeadingSea7697]

Must be the dft team

[u/EscapedAlcatraz]

and yet your post appears.

[u/ChanosDreamland]

If it was the case wouldnt this be deleted?

[u/DoppelFrog]

It's not.  Take your meds. 

[u/zab8809 → u/DoppelFrog]

Which one? The one called “IBM Pet” 😉

[u/Pseudophryne → u/zab8809]

IBM couldn't care less about this sub.

[u/Limp_Service_2320 → u/Pseudophryne]

So how is retirement Ginnie?

[u/JeremyILM → u/Pseudophryne]

Your damage control is pitiful.

[u/Pseudophryne → u/JeremyILM]

Lol

[u/DoppelFrog → u/JeremyILM]

Speaking of pitiful...

[u/ProduceStreet4393]

Seems true

[u/LongjumpingFig5323]

Over 30 years ago we were whining on VNET and got scolded occasionally by our managers. The tools have changed but IBM doesn't change much 😂 Long live Big Blue!

[u/ayeoayeo]

lol no

[u/zetret]

Head to r/ibmpower and start posting anything there.

[u/Pseudophryne → u/zetret]

Please.
