I'm curious??? If CORPORATE IBM has 57,000 people working in India,,, WHO ARE CITIZENS of India,, and paying TAXES in India,,,, WHAT is IBM doing WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I worked for IBM starting in 1957 and was an 'Non-Exempt' employee for almost a one and a half years,,, which was during my training and early account assignments. As I look back, that status could make you feel like you were getting paid for all that you did. Sometimes, long hours, strange hours, or weekend hours. It was not until after I was promoted to 'Exempt' status, did I realize that you had really been brought into the 'company',,,, your salary increases were more frequent, larger and with bonuses. There WAS at that time in the 'Corporate World' a two level system,ie..
1. When you are TRYING to get into the company.
2. When you BECAME part of the company.
As I worked for IBM over many years, it became apparent to me and most every one else,, there were two things that were important: your base compensation; and you bonus plan. Your challenge, every year was to mangage the expectations to make your bonus plan a satisfactory part of your income.
Well said,,,, and thoughtful..... If any remember when memory was measured in Kilobytes, and disks were measured in a few megabytes,,,,, the differences seemed inconsequential...
But as an old and very sage politician, once said,,, A few million here and a few million there,,, and soon it adds up to billions,,,,,,,,, E Dirksen, Sen Ill.

I will say it again,,, watch out for what IBM calls Stream Computing,,, they may do a blow away like they did in the Chess match.
If you had recently noticed, the IBM announcement about what they call "Stream Computing" you might have a chance to see something new.
Yes,,, WE are 'picky' at times
