LEAKED: CEO of IBM Coerces Employees, Threatens to Cut Bonuses Unless They Discriminate in Hiring (VIDEO)
O’Keefe Media Group ^ | Dec 11, 2023 | James O'Keefe

CEO of IBM Arvind Krishna admits to using coercion to fire people and take away their bonuses unless they discriminate in the hiring process.

“You got to move both forward by a percentage that leads to a plus on your bonus," Krishna said about hiring Hispanics, "and by the way if you lose, you lose part of your bonus.”

After pulling ads from X for 'racism,' IBM chief Arvind Krishna says he will fire, demote or strip bonuses from execs who don't hire enough blacks, Hispanics — or hire too many Asians

"Asians are not an underrepresented minority in tech in America...I’m not going to finess this, for blacks we should try to get towards 13 percent," says Krishna.

Paul Cormier, the chairman of Red Hat, a subsidiary of IBM, says in the leaked recording that Red Hat has terminated people because they weren't willing to engage in racial discrimination through hiring and promotion.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act makes it illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of race in the workplace. (CLICK LINK FOR VIDEO

To him, he’s using DEI to push out whites and Asians so he can hire his fellow Indians to take over IBM.

Indians consider themselves to be Asians, as does the rest of the world outside of the US. He's talking about other Indians, and it's certainly true that Indians are not under-represented in tech.

I don’t believe he means Indians, when he says Asians. Using Oriental for Asians is a British idiom and not an American one.

He means Orientals, if you need me to use a word that makes sense to you. I can guarantee you that he’s not going to punish his fellow Indians to put DEI into practice. For Indians, racial quotas are useful to them to cut out economic competitors, like whites and Asians and allows him to primarily hire Indians.

I don’t believe that. I highly doubt he means his own people when he says that. I’ve known too many East Indians and how they do things to believe that he actually means any level of fairness to other groups, races and demographics outside his own.

Claudine Gay would be a great fit at IBM.

Dumb as a box of rocks, can discriminate with the best of them - and she can blow gas in anyone's face and get away with it.

These people had better stay out of my face for the rest of my life.

That's right. "Asians" means the smart Asians: Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Koreans.

Having had much to do with hiring tech professionals in the US, to the point of dealing with Indian subcontractors and H1b agencies - Indian=Asian, as far as HR was concerned.

Where I was the desired people were “underrepresented minorities”, which effectively meant black or hispanic.

Indians certainly werent underrepresented, and hiring them didnt meet any goals - I had lots. I even had a case of an intern who was a tribal Siberian native, who was probably as underrepresented a minority as one coukd imagine, but HR said no.

For decades (from the early 1990s) we also had contractor and vendor goals, “minority or woman owned” - aka meebie-weebies. No points for Indian or Chinese owned vendors. Most of those guys had the trick of putting in thir wives or mothers as the “owners”, so hey, it was all cool.

This is all BS of course, and everyone knew it.

One thing I find to be true is that East Indians are extremely rational people. If you want to hurt yourself, to meet some leftist fashionable morality, they will let you. However, they themselves won’t do. They will let you disadvantage yourself, while unapologetically seeking economic advantages for themselves.

I don’t begrudge their unwillingness to join in the lemming push for economic destruction. It’s us who has to take responsibility not destroy ourselves so that liberals feel better about themselves.

I just simply want people to hire who they want and who they don’t want and let it all work out.

Yep. And any of your former coworkers that were still employed will leave you out in the cold.

It’s a harsh reality when Americans are replaced by foreigners. You learn a lot about those whom you used to trust.

Not for employment purposes. I’ve yet to see an East Indian discriminate against an East Indian and give that job to somebody else.

This East Indian is telling his managers to discriminate against all “Asians”.

You are welcome to believe that he doesn’t believe in the caste society with his people on top of everything if you wish.
