'The fellows up in Personnel,
They have a set of cards on me.
The sprinkled perforations tell
My individuality.
And what am I? I am a chart
Upon the cards of IBM;
The secret places of the heart
Have little secrecy for them
It matters not how I may prate,
They punch with punishments my scroll.
Monday my brain began to buzz;
I was in agony all night.
I found out what the trouble was:
They had my paper clip too tight.'
Even in a simpler age they were snooping on us.

Layoffs"Resource Actions"03/26/09
Layoffs"Resource Actions"We dont need any fancy plans, just end the layoffs. There must be something the government can do to end the relocation of thousands of jobs.
I quote another users comment.
"This is not a story about another 5,000 layoffs in the sea of the millions already laid off. That's exactly how IBM wants you to report it. In fact, the recession and other layoffs are great cover for IBM. The real story is this is not a typical recessionary layoff, pruning poor performers or re-balancing skills for client needs. This is a story about a deliberate and systematic business strategy to replace 15-20K American workers each year with lower-cost BRIC (Brazil, India, China) workers. So far this year, it is approaching 10K (5K in Jan; 5K today) with rumors of more to come in June and in the fall. This is not a story about moving unskilled work to another country. The layoffs have included highly-skilled and experienced professionals-scientists with PhDs, MBAs, seasoned software developers, marketing experts, consultants, project managers and manufacturing workers. This is a story about throwing near-retirement workers into the layoff pool-and using some of the savings (not sent overseas) to hire lower cost & unsuspecting new college grads." --

@abemonty: "first" to wonder how he got cottage cheese discharge.
@abemonty: "first" to wonder why all his girl friends have Adam's apples.
@abemonty: "first" to find out that smelling like old cheese is really only cool in France.
@abemonty: "first" in his class to pick a scab and eat it.
@abemonty: "first" to think that the LHC was the name of the new demolition derby coming to town.
@abemonty: "first" to feel the dull sting and throbbing pain of the hammer of ban.
Better luck next time! Its all in fun there abemonty, but hopefully with this proper ribbing from all that you will learn that being first is not always the best.
