It gives highlights of 2206 no amount on premium. I don't know what you are referring to 83 % not sure you are even a retiree.

It showed people can adapt and we bailed out companies by bringing home the bacon and working in bedrooms etc. Work is no longer a place you go. It is something you do to pay the bills. I also much prefer face to face selling but just because you do not go to an office does not mean you are not working nor that IBM no [18:24] schestowitz[TR2] longer needs you. I have sold $3M systems mostly remote via email, virt mtgs, calls, texts etc. It just IS now...BUT IBM like other companies want to downsize and have RIFs and not pay severance so they will TRACK you with trip reports and badge swipes etc which is when the lying begins to hit a number that means nothing...

I enjoyed it and had a cubicle, but now I realize the customers aren't in their offices either. I also used the time to network outside of IT to meet LOB executives. I would just go because your competition isn't going. Why does IBM need you if you are not visiting the customer?
