I have to agree. All IBM is asking for is to hit certain numbers. Now, those numbers might be short sighted and unrealistic, but in my experience the operational decisions were still coming from inside Red Hat, at least through the middle of last year when I left. It doesn't matter whether IBM or Wall Street is demanding double-digit growth numbers every quarter, the end result is the same. Despite a really strong push by a lot of people inside the company to put culture first, in the end, a demand for unsustainable growth is going to wreck any culture, no matter how strong.
