  It is hard to know what happened from the small bit of information. However, there's really no context where the phrase "You Are an IBM Employee 100% of the Time" is good. Edit: Meaning the tone and language suggest a work culture you might want to avoid. Separate from any actual policy.

    It's obviously bad wording, but isn't that exactly what the law of employment suggests? If not, what problem are these[1] articles trying to solve, as there shouldn't be any? I might be wrong, please correct me if so.

      That's 1) highly dependant of where you are 2) still worth discussing when companies do try to enforce that for no good reason, even if they can (and often they can't, but still do as a scare tactic) The law isn't the end of all things.

    Think of it less as "we own you 100%" and more as "you represent IBM in what you do, especially in a kernel drive for an IBM project".
