Cut Management salaries and bonuses & keep jobs in the America
Pros: Career Opportunities Globally. Communication is everywhere. The W3 website, IBM's intranet, it loaded with tons of information. They have sources to educate and provide you with information on work/life balance. There are many employees with 15, 20, 25 or more years of service with IBM.
Cons: The management at the top has no clue who get's the work done. They talk of globalization, its just another word for "send the US jobs off-shore". Your treated as hired meat with meager benefits. They put tools in place to track every little thing you, You spend time each week tracking your work hours, over-time, down to the actual tasks you do. Staring in January 2009, they will have tools in place to compare the time on tasks with the time spent by IBMer's in India and Brazil as a way to justify moving the jobs to those countries. Morale in America sucks right now.
