IBM's THINK motto is gone
IBM's THINK motto is gone
You can make good money if you work 14 hours a day and meet your objectives.
After 15 years at IBM, just before my 60th birthday and eligible for full retirement benefits, I was part of a 50,000 U.S. employee layoff. I actually had grounds to sue, but who has the means to sue "Big Blue"?
Go back to founder Thomas Watson's motto: "THINK", and above all, "respect for the individual". I have a friend and former coworker who's been with IBM for 15 years. He's been given a choice: move from California to North Carolina, or be terminated. This is despite IBMers in sales and technical support having been virtual office, working from home for the last 29 years.
