MDC is just plain sad
MDC is just plain sad
IBM on resume and experience.
Salary. Salary. Salary is a joke, 20K below national averages for people with no experience.
Ability to transfer within IBM even after transitioning to regular status. You have to wait another year.
No OT anymore to make up for the horrible salary, by transitioning us to regular status.
Inconsistent attendance policy as to who has to adhere to the three days work from Lansing and who can work from home whenever they wish, even though they live in Lansing.
Being put on projects that are not part of our skillset just to make the center hit its utilization numbers and required to work OT when we are not paid for it to help the center hit utilization targets.
Very few new benefits for being made a regular employee, which the management tried to use to soften the salary situation.
Pay us what we are worth, not the "low cost wage" that you refer to in onboarding. During the transition, this is referred to as part of MDC.
Maintain a consistent attitude regarding attendance; do not single out certain individuals.
Give us the yearly bonus that real IBMers are given, and treat us like them.
