I used to work for them. Their foreign investments and government work looked very shady when I was there. I was a low level employee but some things just did not add up.
I used to work for them as well and the woke shit came in really hard and fast. We couldn't get our division profitable despite being one of the bragged about "AI" and big data groups. The VP over us would just blog about BLM and the virus while we were floundering but prevent us from actually functioning. They laid people off to make earnings during the peak of the economic damage and the VP's team selected who to lay off. Higher ups usually tell low level managers to lay off a certain number of people but this time this woman's team hand selected who and still won't tell why. The result was teams losing essential people while the dead weight stuck around.
The BLM shit at IBM was insane. They had propaganda all over and had the term emb(race) on their propaganda. There are black Slack channels where black women complain about how IBM is oppressing them despite them all being insufferable managers of useless teams. The only funny part about those channels are the black women bitching at the white women about "allyship" and how its empty unless whites give their jobs to blacks. They would @ managers, making retarded demands, and the managers would stay quiet while being harassed. Our managers were told to ask the blacks in our teams if they felt safe working at IBM. Everyone there made $75k+ and the office was in a wealthy and low crime area. The black diversity officer for our location drove a Mercedes.
IBM doesn't give a shit about its employees and management is filling up with upper(middle) class women who treat their job as more of a social activity than a responsibility with people's livelihoods on the line.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Except people accept it because it's under the banner of "social justice."
Take Microsoft, for example. They've been going after open source software for years. They buy GitHub and make a code of conduct standard for all new projects as well as pushing them among open source in general, driving away the kind of talented developers that aren't good at socializing or simply care more about merit and the project than other factors.
It's not all that different from their tactics in the 90s and 00s, but calling them out for it is now verboten.
Helping authoritarian regimes keep records is just part of their company DNA.

When I worked for the DOD I was shocked to learn how many of IBM's global service techs were on our payroll as well...
I was sure that this would be about China.
Some of these companies have been fucked up way longer than I thought.
