IBM Seems to be Imitating the European Patent Office's "Young Professionals" (YPs) With Client Innovation Center (CIC), Which is About Mass-Hiring Inexperienced People on Very Low Salaries (Sometimes Unlivable)

2024: EPO Staff Representatives Sound Alarm, Cautioning About Unlivable Conditions and Salaries to New ("Young") Professionals Who Serve to Dismantle the EPO and the EPC, Which the EPO Must Obey (But Does Not) | When the EPO Becomes Increasingly Overrun or Dominated by Underpaid 'Young Professionals' to Whom a Union (or Legal Defence) is a Luxury They Can't Afford | EPO Dictatorship, Facing Growing Pressure From Senior Staff for Breaking Laws and Illegally Running the System, Turns to "Young Professionals" (to Crush Voices, Rights, and Benefits)
Official EPO page:
IBM is in the race!
The race to the bottom.
It's not about race. It's about class.
It is about finding the least demanding workers, salary-wise.
IBM cannot grow its revenue (sans cooking the books and buying other companies to add up their revenue to IBM's).
But.
Worry not.
IBM will replace workers with scabs.
At least they have fancy name for it. The EPO called this "Pan-European Seal Programme".
At the IBM HR/PR departments they've come up with "FutureNow" or Client Innovation Center (CIC).
So the future of IBM now is college students without experience? Recruited some time by 2031 (if at all)? █
