At IBM benefits are being cut every year, the worker’s position is getting worse every year – I am bit jaded given the fact I was RA’d but whatever... Here is one example, 401k match is only done if you are working on Dec 15 of each year, so if you leave on Dec 14, tough luck, you’ve lost that year – what genius came up with this is beyond me…
Sure, it will save some money, but you will also piss off every single employee you have – so there is your trade off – go figure… So, I got cut in August, and I lost this money – good for you IBM, you’ve ensure that my new company never ever buys anything from you – I have a modest low six figure budget now, and I am certainly not spending any of that money on IBM.
