Today, IBM is bringing over 100 of our top leaders from across the country to meet with Members of
Congress and discuss important issues as part of our annual Washington fly-in. It’s the tenth year we’ve
held this fly-in and this year,. . .
So the flight, hotel, rental car, and per diem costs (which are all certainly more lavish than what standard employees are eligible for, I mean they're not all staying at a Hampton Inn and eating at Chili's for dinner) to have 100+ top leaders visit D.C. for the past 10 years is how much, approximately? Yet raises and promotions and cost-saving measures (RA's being the leading one. . .) are imposed on the rank-and-file at least annually now for the past 20+ years?
The above aside, do happen to agree with IBM's position: why should America have to bend to the EU's rules?
