| schestowitz[TR2] | First, thanks for the 20 year you gave to IBM. You helped the company grow and in turn supported alot of retirees. For those reasons alone, you should be commended. Once an IBMer, always an IBMer. | Oct 13 01:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That said, all corporation evolve and change. The company you worked for 10 years ago has moved on. And probably alot of people you knew, have moved on too. So you'll need to rebuild your network and build up your visibility again to secure your future. | Oct 13 01:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A couple of practical suggestions. If you are a former US employee, your years of service will be continued if you re-start at IBM . This could be helpful in a few ways: | Oct 13 01:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (1) If you are on the old pension plan, ask how this will help your ultimate payout | Oct 13 01:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (2) If you were one of the people who has a small pension and a 401K, there is probably no change because your pension is capped already, but worth asking | Oct 13 01:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (3) For your Future Health Account -- call the NetBenefits helpline at Fidelity and ask | Oct 13 01:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | them what is on your account and if coming back would increase your payout | Oct 13 01:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Good luck to you! | Oct 13 01:54 |
