IBM

Wonderful colleagues, enjoyable and challenging work.

IBM has longstanding internal practices of extremely poor ethical behavior. These unethical practices are commonly known outside the company.

Evidence in just one of many examples can be found from Technology CEO's and news agencies' commentary in the book entitled: "The Decline and Fall of IBM: End of an American Icon?"

An internet search on topics such as "IBM employee Morale" or Forbes and CNBC documentaries regarding routine, quarterly layoffs to maintain Earnings Per Share are just tip-of-the-iceberg samples of evidence showing how a wonderful company has been driven into the ground through longstanding, ingrained greed and arrogance that has desensitized the conscience of decision makers. This has led to the proliferation of unethical behavior to the point it is now deeply embedded in IBM's corporate culture.

Will you prioritize ethical treatment of your workforce at least equal to your need to grow revenue? Or will growing 90+ billion in revenue continue to squash the executive team's ability to ensure ethical treatment of the workforce?

Will the insatiable focus on the need for more and more profit continue to lead to more quarters of shrinking revenue?

Will IBM learn from losing many past lawsuits, costing the company far more than 200 million, over how it has dealt with classes of people over the past decade alone?

Will IBM continue to exploit the workforce through fear of being laid off, a practice that causes a mass of the workforce to work for free simply to meet increasing demands and avoid being on the chopping block next time – a chopping block that has literally axed hundreds of thousands of IBM employees just within the last decade alone?

Simply put, when will IBM prioritize ethical treatment of its workforce on par with its need to grow revenue?
