There was no employee engagement in this process. Anything with moves the locus of control out of Armonk and into the hands of the employees will not happen. IBM works a lot like the military, top down. I would bet that they took a handful of picked employees, brought them into a room with the execs who created the program and asked in person what they thought of the program. That is how IBM works. You can suggest minor changes to the execs' programs, but don't think you are going to be making major changes and certainly not participating in creating anything. In general, if it isn't a quick fix, don't mention it.

Did you get 1 month severance per new and "improved" policy?
I received a 3 which could not be justified by manager last year and no recourse to fight it and got one again last week again no justification and now lay off package. Trying to get in touch with HR to appeal and it is impossible wait times over an hour and no one calls back.
