Retired from IBM Canada in 2010 at 55yrs with 20 yrs service. Current manager on my last day sent an e-mail asking that I drop off my badge and laptop with a colleague at 3600 Steeles. Not a single thank you or contact from any level of management.
Being a FLM myself, this behavior demonstrated poor leadership and some insight to what this company has become. Months later, manager sent an e-mail advising about my retirement lunch was overdue where I get to invite some guests and the manager. I declined solely to deny him the free lunch.
