Every year of employment came with the feeling of unease that came from the real or imagined job insecurity driven from a multitude of layoffs - I was the last one remaining from my start group (the ones I kept in touch with) of IBMers; so there's either something very wrong about the hiring process and/or there's something very wrong with how IBM values and grows it's employees

I've seen 100% utilized and well reviewed coworkers laid-off for no reason other than someone(s) had to go even if they were needed and actively contributing, given a corporate directive to trim headcount, etc. revealing the truth that ultimately you are just a number
