I don't want to say who is right or wrong but IBM was very clear with
me that their job was to return profits to the stockholders, not look
out for employees. If the two were not contradictory they did both but
when push came to shove, they "shoved" the employee. In my case (and
about 20,000 of my peers) that shove was out the door. Then they
regeged on most of the promises they made about our retirement.
IBM and several other companies like AT&T found themselves with a
surplus of highly trained folks left over from the days of
electro-mechanical hardware. They tried to retred as many as possible
into software development and other related areas but the numbers
involved were just too large, and the new generations of all digital
equipment were just too reliable and easy to maintain.
Translation: We sucked everything out of you we could, now we're
cutting you loose and we're not going to keep the commitments we made
about your retirement, either.
Thank you, and f*ck you.

I thought you had a sweetheart employment contract at Ullico? Weren't
you on the golden boy list at that ah small company? Didn't you get in
on some killer stock deals with MCI, Tyco, Enron, and a few others.
Isn't that why you can afford the double wide manufactured home in
Calvert County?
