IBM to open center in Dubuque, create 1,300 jobs

I agree. If IBM can't send the job overseas it is getting you to quit by sending you to Dubuque or Fishkill. Either way, the loyal, talented employees who have made IBM what is are the ones getting the shaft. IBM will regret the day they let Sam makes these decisions. It will come back to haunt them.  (Aug 23, 2009 | post #7)

IBM Earns Top Ranking in Global Application Outsourcing Service...

Remember...you get what you pay for. We spent several months training some people to take our job. Once we got them trained they quit IBM and went to a competitor who paid them more money. Cheaper IS NOT always better and I can prove it. IBM chooses not to tell their customers they are getting lower skilled workers....just how much money they can save. IBM will live to regret the business decision to discard its loyal, talented US team for inferior, low skilled, cheap labor.  (Aug 23, 2009 | post #1)

Parking is your main concern? I understand you trying to keep your town beautiful but the problem lies with Dubuque itself. They are the ones that gave IBM the tax breaks to setup there and bowed over to them. And consider all the people who are being terminated if they choose not to move to Dubuque to work. Why is it legal to force employees to move away from their homes and families when for 20 years IBM has forced the employees to work from home. I can't tell you the number of people who have lost their jobs. It's horrible and it needs to be stopped.  (May 13, 2009 | post #4)
