IBM Adding Almost 19,000 Jobs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the on-the-upswing dept.

After the new hires IBM will employ about 330,000 people worldwide." More good news for the unemployed techie. Although things are far from the halcyon days of dot-com yesteryear, it's good to see companies doing better.

    A sure fire test of whether someone is a globalist toady is when they compare present conditions to the peak of the dotcom craze rather than to the recessionary periods of the early 80's or early 90's.

    It's sort of like if you dared take so much as a 30% pay raise at any time during the period from 1998 through 2000, you are fair chicken meat for the carnal desires of a pod of AIDS neuropathic Scott McNealy clones and their puppet masters.

    IBM hasn't announced that it has cut 15,000 jobs in the US. If you're accusing them of fuzzy math, please give some fucking real numbers you god damn pinko.
