Hard Work, Little Credit
Hard Work, Little Credit
For those interested in trying different things, lateral movement is still possible, though not as much as it used to be.
As a large company, IBM has lots of resources.
You worked hard without much credit or compensation. If you're not in sales or marketing, you are treated merely as a fungible resource. It's a somewhat stodgy company. They try to do modern things, like agile development, but that philosophy doesn't go very high up the management chain.
Learn to treat people as people, not as resources. When laying off people, be honest about it rather than play games, such as changing how reviews are managed without telling the employees.
