Re: People joining IBM, do you seriously think you'll never be over 40 ???

I my ~30 years of working life, no smart person every went to work for IBM - well, not the business, money making bit.

IBM used to attract dull plodders. No problem with that, IBMs core business tended to be slow n steady.

However, thee deal always was - IBM gives you a goot middle icnome but keeps you employed for ever.

SInce it all went wrong i nthe mid 90s, IBM has lost its way as an org.

Its trying to play hire n fire but not offering the salary.
