Did IBM begin adopting “Partner” and “Senior Partner” titles? How’s that work if it’s not partnership? Wondering if it’s moreso to build a consulting culture and distinguish from rest of the business?

IBM use of those titles comes from when they acquired PWC consulting to create GBS. But they have worth in the market so they kept the titles (left as a Band C)

I used to work in the consulting side of IBM (GTS and later security) and also wondered that. From what I know, the partners get profit share from deals they sign. It’s not a partnership but on the GTS side we really did operate like a tech consulting firm. They might be trying to instill that culture on more of the company because when I left services was growing faster than product.

Many companies use the term partner but are not partnerships.

Ya thats weird

Case load= malpractice? Small plaintiff’s firm of 25 attorneys. I was a 2 year associate hired and given 50 active files in pre litigation status. 9 mos later a partner quit and I inherited 45 more. I got up to 105 files. Now I hover at 85 active files in varying stages of pre lit. I asked managing partner for help and was told to settle more claims to lessen my load. Is this what people consider negative work culture?

I feel like gay men especially are constantly discriminated against in the workplace. I have been turned down for a promotion, yet again, in favor of a married heterosexual with kids.

Again and again, it’s a culture of parents helping other parents. No gays in upper level mgmt in our office.
