Re: Not what they used to be

"IBM have been loosing ever since they tried to ignore Microsoft and Windows."

I recall a presentation on OS/2 by a senior VP..."We're going to whip their (MSoft) ass". The rest is history.

"If true, I hope IBM lose. They need to feel the pain treating staff that shitly."

IBM have been doing this for 25 years at least. What has caused controversy and ill-feeling is that in the past they paid candidates very generously to leave. Many, myself included, were happy to accept.

Now they terminate them on minimum terms mandated by law.
