I encourage all IBMers and retirees to read the book. Many people are unaware that IBM's screwing of its employees didn't start with Gerstner in 1999 with his...
Well yeah that's for sure. They never invented a thing. It does not take a lot of imagination to lay people off, do the obvious, and be a heartless, greedy...
Jobs was creative and bought out some unique products. RIP but it doesn't make any difference when any of them go. I have never owned an apple product so it...
