In the past 5 years, IBM has systematically replaced 30 thousand of your fellow US citizens, a stadium full of your friends, family, and neighbors, with cheaper foreign labor. The pace is accelerating.

That little stirring you feel in your heart when you see your coworkers, friends and country get systematically abused, mistreated, fired and replaced for cheaper labor, and those left in your group underfunded, understaffed, and grossly overworked to pick up the pieces; when the company cheats workers of jobs and benefits through supplemental employment, H-1B visas, and co-employment schemes, then robs the rest of their pensions; not because the company is doing poorly, but in times where the stock price continues to rise on record profits; and you see these things done not for the long-term good of the company, but only for short-term greed and executive rape - that little stirring is God's way of reminding you of your sense of decency, morality and human dignity.

No more US layoffs! "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing". Let us not assassinate this country further, Mr. Palmisano. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

Agree, NO MORE US LAYOFFS. And it is always done in the name of increasing shareholder value. WHY? BECAUSE INDIA PAYS IT'S PEOPLE $1.80 AN HOUR. TRUE. So firms like IBM, CSC, et all can bill clients at $125 an hour and make a ton of profit. American IT has been decimated by outsourcing and no sane college graduate would think of entering this field today.
