In the early 1990s, IBM found they had several MILLION employees that no longer had full job-responsibilities. Some four Million had no genuine job at all. At the time, IBM had a "no layoff" policy, as well as a habit of training new workers for new technologies, and retaining, but not retraining ones whose job-responsibility went away

Which planet are you living on???? IBM with millions of employees? LArger than the Wal-marters??

Check their website where they quote:
With 2001 revenues of $85.9 billion and more than 300,000 employees worldwide, IBM is the largest IT company on the planet

Well I guess those MILLIONS of IBM workers who didn't have any responsibilities are now part of the 16 BILLION burger flippers our country employs.

If someone types it on the internet, it must be true.

Yep. You're right. I messed up that big-time. I have no idea how I turned 10% and 40% into typing one and four million.

The time period for the review I was referring to was 1992-1993. Past a certain age/point, they just kept people around and hired new college graduates for new jobs.
