Interesting, IBM itself celebrated its centenary when I was there in 2011 or early 2012.
We got a cupcake, some badges and some sort of stock grant - the company would do something like put aside $1k worth of stock at 2011 prices for each employee, and anyone who was there 10 years later would actually receive the shares.
I'm not aware of a single person who received that grant because the development lab I worked in back then got shut down a few years after I had moved on. And looking at the stock price movements in that time, $1600 bucks is not a lot for ten years loyalty!
- ghaff 3y agoI guess it depends on which event you consider the start of IBM. I know a fair number of people who have been there for 20 to 30 years.
- ncneieixk5 3y agolol i remember this, we all got like 6 total RSUs and were supposed to be ecstatic about it. and yes they fired all of us before ever paying out
- seth123456 3y agoWhen I was there during that time we got a book about the history and how IBM saw itself.
- Nursie 3y agoOh yeah, there was a book too :)
- hermitcrab 3y agoDid it mention IBM's role in the holocaust?
- Natfan 3y agoYes, a fact which my father (who is Jewish) was unaware of when he worked there in the 80s.
