Re: A recognised general practice

About two years ago, we had an all-staff meeting with the Head of marketing, Veronika, who when asked if contractors might be offered jobs full-time told us in no uncertain terms that our value to IBM was our expendability. During that time, people were told to move to one of six cities (at their own expense and with no job guarantee) or they wouldn’t have their job. They were not being laid off, but were actually “not showing up on location” and therefore no longer employed. Coincidentally, there were numerous HR PPTs that discussed bringing fresh new talent and ideas into the organization.
