IBM

I have mostly good coworkers, but I am not impressed with upper management.

IBM has offshored my positions 3 separate times and now laid me off. The benefits are shrinking every year. More people seem more cutthroat than in the past because of the way reviews are given, so it is harder to get a sense of a good team atmosphere. It is a joke how they do appraisals since they make us write personal business commitments as our goals, and we could accomplish all the goals we set forth. But these PBCs are not used in the evaluation. First-line managers haggle with other first-line managers over who "ranks" higher, so you better hope your manager is close to you and is better at debating with other managers.

Stop all covert actions that demoralize employees.
