Lie number one is IBM is "a prosperous software and consulting services company".
Check out the researchgate article related to the sordid topic of how IBM treats its loyal workers - just do a google search on "HR Analytics –Workforce Management Initiative and its role in IBM Project Liquid Program". Here's the abstract: "IBM is constantly restructuring its workforce according to the changes in business and work environment. The company’s HR Organization has played a significant role in its transformation from a troubled computer manufacturer in the 1990s to a prosperous software and consulting services company. IBM had been successfully utilizing the workforce analytics tools and technologies internally within their organization but also has been selling the same to their clients successfully. With the emergence of new technologies like cloud computing, social media, collaborative tools and technologies and data analytics, the way businesses run their organizations and operations have changed significantly forcing business organizations adopt new business models. IBM launched a new program called Project Liquid in which it is replacing permanent employees with temporary/contract workers who will be hired flexibly as required and paid accordingly. The case study provides a detailed view about the current HR Organization set up in IBM, HR metrics and Workforce analytics that have been successfully implemented and integrated into organization strategy, and the new strategy of flexible staffing that is expected to be implemented in near future. This case study helps to discuss the changing work environment and how organizations should adapt to changes successfully."
