A former long term IBMer - 29/12/08
IBM is no longer a company to work for. I joined in 1979 and the early years were terrific. Under Louis Gerstner, it all started falling apart, with the then IBM Austrlai chairman Robert Savage disposing of hundreds of IBM Wangaratta employees to a startup company in 1998. IBM recognised those long serving employees with an offer of a 30% discount on an Aptiva PC, and an immoral but legal reduction in their superannuation. I have since heard IBM has been a lousy company to work for and the few old timers left just hanging out for retirement. I am much happier in the real world away from IBM and I have been far more successful than I would have ever been in IBM, although I do cherish the memories of the early years. I do not believe having IBM on a resume is an advantage any more. In fact, it is almost an embarassment.
