IBM knows how to treat it's employess.....

First they mess around with the pension and then this.....

Workforce cuts!  Looks like Palmisano's first move is to be a hatchet man and
reduce the Server group workforce.  Supposedly the cuts affect all server groups
but Rochester may face the worst of it.

Let's see now.  Create a great machine.  Than market it like anthrax.  When
things get a little tough take it out on the people's who's work and efforts you
didn't market properly.  I hope Stephenson gets a equitable action taken against
him.....

This will be real interesting.  These cuts could be beneficial but they could
spell more trouble.  There is a great risk that good people will leave (as they
already have), that more will be let go, and that certain projects will be cut.
All for what is essentially a management problem.......

Sorry for the digression on this technical list but I feel this may all impact
us eventually.

Respectfully

Mike Crump
