Right – I was laid off a few years ago, and now positions like mine then are being advertised by IBM. I will never be going back to that disloyal employer who demands a ridiculous degree of loyalty from its “greatest asset – our people” (unless of course it is my last resort – might as well be as cynical as IBM).
