Given the vast amount of IBM brands, it isn't difficult to find a position of interest if you invest the time in creating connections across the company and happen to have a management chain that supports the personal growth of their employees.
The only reason IBM is doing well right now is because budgets are being slashed left and right, employee morale is at an all-time low, and management (if you're unlucky) can be quite condescending and non-responsive to employee needs.
Keeping the staff happy is nowhere on the priority list.
People are often expected to work extra-long hours and weekends without any particular compensation, reward, or acknowledgment. The expectation isn't reflected in a request to come in, but rather by assigning large amounts of work that don't actually make sense given a "normal" workday.
Your employees are your most valuable asset. You may think that it is critical to please your shareholders now by cutting every corner and eliminating bare essentials, but you are clearly losing talented people left and right. At this rate, the company will be left empty-handed and unable to compete in the market in the years to come.
