IBM Adding Almost 19,000 Jobs
cyngus writes "IBM has announced they will add 18,800 jobs worldwide in 2004. They say about a third will be in North America. I don't know how many they have added this year so far. 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.
shut the fuck up cowboyneal. when is the last time you actually had to look for a job? what the hell do you know about real tech work? fuck off.
Yeah... engineers if you want to do the code-monkey stuff. Scientists do the real thing!! Ok... this is gonna get flamed...
I BLAME BUSH!! I mean why the hell is he making IBM hire people!? Bush is so stupid..
Although things are far from the halcyon days of dot-com yesteryear
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.
Seastead this.
Hit it again, asshat. I've plenty of karma to burn.
Fuckwit kerry knob-slobberers.

" Didn't they lay of 50,000 over the past 5 years?
So 50,000 american jobs leave. 18,000 jobs come back, but only 6,000 american? "
Yeah who gives a shit about them damn darkies overseas. Fuck 'em. They don't deserve to eat.
Can I get one more you fuck-wit ass-pirate turd-burglaring bone-headed shit-sucking worthless left-wing nut-nuzzlers?

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.
A deep unwavering belief is a sure sign you're missing something...
You get the fucking moron of the fucking day award, fucker.

Rubish!! Until IBM rids the American workforce
of L1 and H1B visa workers please don't insult
my intelligence with assertions about how IBM
is helping me, an unemployed and qualified soft-
ware developer. Facts are that American business
has betrayed the American people. Period, end of
discussion. If American business want's me to
believe they are here to help the American worker
then they need to start acting like it which
means implmenting policies that benefit the
American worker. For starters IBM needs to
renounce the use of H1B and L1 workers and send
those people back to where they came from.
