So IBM wants to offshore. So what? It is the same thing. Lots more profit..... for those in the tight knit inner circle. Ah yeah, there will be pain. Goodbye the "old faithfuls" who bought the corporate crap - there is a sucker born every day.
What is the comeback? It is laughable. All those who feel screwed might just, that's a joke, make it their life mission to make an example of that Company. Make it their job to stop its flow of business by persuading buying mot to but until IBM becomes decent again.
Some hope.
Welcome to hell boys and girls. It is a home, albeit not very comfortable ultimately, for those who will not protest because today they can just cover their bills and whilst things don't look too good IBM will surely do the decent thing in future.
