"How stupid of me to believe in our IBM "leaders", despite all they kept doing to hurt the employees. No coincidence these pay cuts start, and this is ony the start, just when they increase the 401K contribution after stealing our pensions and raising our "
"I didn't misinterpret, nor reinterpit the FLSA. IBM has taken ZERO risk over this, and control the supposed OT that will be available. I am quite certain that allged overtime WILL be restricted, and very difficult for most affected employees to use."
"IBM can do better than this. How about: dedicate a portion of yearly profit to a bonus pool to be shared equally with all employees?"
"You won't entice many new recruits with 85\% market value + OT"
"I don't even work for IBM, but this just disgusts me. This is blatant capitalism at its worst. I'm sure if the senior execs took a 15\% pay cut, it would more than offset the cost of overtime for the people that do the real work !!"

"the biggest problem with IBM, is that they don't have a clue on how to fix their financial problems with us U.S workers. They implemented LEAN as a way to stop the overtime, well it took months for mgmt to realize that you can't build a team of 50 to work"
"As a decision maker for technology driven company I know that I will refuse from now on to make any further purchases in protest this new provision of corporate greed."
"Why do smart companies do dumb things?"
"Disrespect for IBM employees starts at the top and flows down. It's up to the highly compensated Mr. Palmasino to turn IBM back in to a company that cares for its employees like family, the company Tom Watson founded and believed in."

"Bad Business Behavior by Big Blue!"
"Overseas outsourcing will not solve the inherent IBM problems in the long term. Sometime in the next few years, they will need to re-employ the people they are screwing over."
