@Beep54 Re: Too technical
Very easy.
While I was at IBM I was in a PS sales role.
Yet I was skilled enough to do the implementation.
While I wanted to take IBM technical courses and get certified on other products, I was not allowed to do so. In fact the only course offered by IBM where I was given approval was for SSM.
I was deemed too technical in my role, yet I needed to be technical since I was designing the solution rather than bringing in one of the consultants to do the work.(About $1,000 in cost savings per contract and I had to do over 75-100 contracts a year.)
If IBM wants you gone... they will invent excuses for you to be gone.
Posted Anon because I have the scars from escaping the borg and too many horror stories about IBM misbehaving ... which is the norm for almost all big corporations.
