Pays as little as possible, helps employees as little as possible
Reasonably good people work at IBM.
Everybody's hands are tied. Nobody can help you. You will be paid as little as possible while your benefits are chipped away.
There is a strong sinking ship feeling. Early this year there was a significant layoff. Just a few weeks ago, a furlough. This is scary.
I don't even know what management can do. Everything is so strongly obfuscated from the employee that you don't know where to turn for help.
Your manager has a manager, who has managers in turn of his own.
If you have a salary dispute, how far up the chain does the approval have to go before someone can effect change? I have no idea. I'm not even sure who does.
