Pros

None come to mind. The benefits stink, considering the size of the company. Management lives in fear for their jobs and will not stand up for their employees at all.

Cons

IBM is only interested in their bottom line. They do not care about their employees very much.

They could not wait to offshore our jobs to a cheaper country.

Once you're slated for workforce reduction, you become a pariah, and no one in the other businesses will even look at your resume.

Advice to Management

Start treating employees less like an easily dispensable commodity. Try valuing your employees. When it makes business sense to relocate jobs, find other jobs within the company to move employees to instead of tossing them out like trash.
