Pros

Ability to work from home so I don't have to deal with my manager. There are a few good people working in my area.

Cons

IBM - Where Idiots Become Managers.

No respect for the employee. Ratings are arbitrarily lowered to target good workers for layoffs. People are afraid for their jobs, so they don't speak up. Those that do find a target on their backs and will soon be marked for RA.

Advice to Management

Truly value your assets (your employees). Without workers, you will soon be without a company. Stop telling managers to lower ratings so IBM does not have to pay out the pittance of a bonus to good performers. Stop demoralizing your employees. You will not get and keep top talent by destroying your current employees.
