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

“another racist Indian in corporate america”

It’s worse. Two of them are vying for the Oval Office. That mentality, where caste is in firmly in the mindset, is dangerous.

A boss of mine hired an Indian woman to paint murals in his home, and my co-worker and I were her first contact when she wanted to reach him. If he wasn’t available, she’d order us to find him, interrupt him, etc. The ATTITUDE, superior and condescending, was unbelievable!

We’d laugh at her, and she’d get mad. Finally, I have her a come-to-Jesus moment and explained how things work in America, i.e., no caste system. And she had been in the USA for maybe 30 years. It’s in their blood.

“He means Orientals, if you need me to use a word that makes sense”

Thank you! Orientals.

I never knew Indians are “Asian”. Just like I’ve heard that Hispanics more are “White”. People need to quit monkeying around with what’s true.

Next week I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the the word, “Asian”, is offensive and taboo.

The dictionary meaning of Asian is someone who comes from or whose forebears came from the Asian continent. That means that people defined as white under statutory law, such as Turks, Lebanese, and Syrians, are actually Asians. So are the Russians who live in the Asian portion of the Russian Federation. The whole race issue is a pretext to divide the American population and is fundamentally a Communist concept. Even the term, racism, was coined by Leon Trotsky, Lenin's chief assistant.

OMG. This is the end of IBM. Sell all your stocks in IBM because merit no longer counts, only a quotas game with races.

Never thought I’d see this headline.

Time to dump any IBM stock. Not because of any boycott but because they have the DEI cancer and will die soon.

Good news for the up-and-coming competition!

"It’d be hilarious if they got sued for discrimination over it."

Who has the money to sue IBM through the courts and appeals system in a case that could last a decade or more?

IBM has been in marked decline since 2012.

Yeah, who would have thought that IBM, a company integral to the identification and tracking of prisoners in Nazi camps, would be Fascist?

The irony of an Indian doing this is rich. India is among the most overtly racist nations in earth.

I have seen that at my company. Indians are the last race of good old boys that still get away with it. Nobody more racist.

Revoke his citizenship as he’s clearly just proved that his naturalization oath to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the U.S. have been violated. He’s an Indian from India, acting out his Indian sociology in America. He is not an American.

I highly doubt he means his own people when he says that.

He means his own people. He's pursuing DEI targets, as he makes clear in his talk - DEI targets seek to mirror actual population breakdowns in the workplace, and Indians are over-represented in tech already. He's very clearly stating that his managers will lose their bonuses if they hire more Indians and not enough blacks. He says he wants the black proportion of IBM's workforce at 13%, mirroring the proportion of blacks in the American population.

Arvind Krishna...

Are there ANY High Tech companies that have Americans at the top??

I’m serious, I haven’t seen a Smith in any official list.
Smith only appears in STUPID, ASSININE LAWSUITS AGAINST AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.

I never knew Indians are “Asian”.

I work with teams in Europe and Asia daily - it's an eye-opener to realize that the rest of the world is referring to Indians when they say "Asian". This is especially true in the UK, but it's pretty much true that "Asian" includes "Indian" everywhere except the US - here, our liberals decided that "Oriental" was no longer acceptable, so we use the word "Asian" for the people we used to call "Oriental".

I thought “Asian” meant Pakistanis.

Big difference between Pakistanis and Indians.

At the last company I worked at they hired a guy from India to run the IT dept and he then replaced within a few years the 3 positions below him with people from India and the manager in our Help Desk dept then quit and he was replaced by a guy working out of Mexico.
