I was talking to a consultant who works with execs from many companies but not IBM. I explained how we are treated at IBM - only the truth, only what I have seen with my own eyes - and he refused to believe it. He said he has never seen a company do anything like what I described. So thank you, "Sound Advice", but go back and tell Ginni she needs more than propaganda. Her employees will never treat IBM any better than IBM treats them. Are we disgruntled? Of course. We are also disgusted, furious, fed up, and mostly looking for new jobs ahead of the RA axe.

I left IBM last year and now compete, nothing feels better than to win and take away their revenue....
Disgruntled employees have a reason to be so. IBM shills generally just blame them as malcontents ... but laying hundreds will not just create 1 or 2 unhappy chaps. The old IBM is long gone and the new one (whichever version Gin-girl cooks up per conference call) is dying.
Disgruntled employees end up being influencers at customer sites. This is a nightmare when you try and sell into the installed base.
I lifted this from @U1OJouh-5jjc - I thought that the poster summarized how many many of us feel right now - sorry for copy/paste but I feel the OP deserved a thread of his or her own
