| schestowitz[TR3] | I'm in that pushing 60 category and technically just about ready to retire. And I have not had a decent raise in 15 years - so much so that with inflation factored in, i earn less now than I did 15 years ago, despite being in a similar role and way better at it now than I was back then. And also despite having leadership and decision making skills way beyond countless people who are one and two levels above me in the company. | Jun 18 05:27 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | So there is no way that I won't try to correct that serious and ongoing wrong via a substantial severance payment, however long the legal battle for that might be. Hope that explains to you younger people why some of us older ones don't "just retire". | Jun 18 05:27 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | I don't disagree with you... just waiting for the axe... I will probably retire anyway then, so I don't really care! | Jun 18 05:27 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | For anyone that is 50+ or pushing 60, and still at IBM, you should be in a good financial position, and it should not matter if you get the axe or not. Sure, it would be nice to be able to milk IBM for a few more years... | Jun 18 05:27 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | The recession is here already - contrary to the positive news that comes out daily from Washington, the Government and private companies are cutting employees, consumer spending is down and FUD prevails on the sidewalks. Restaurants, clothing stores, vacation outlets etc. are all feeling the pain and many going out of business. How many tech companies are actively hiring as they were before and during Covid-19 ? How many are still | Jun 18 05:27 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | actively recruiting remote employees ? Suggest that you get your resume ready and start sending it out before the proverbial axe makes an appearance. The IBM Grim Reaper doesn't wait for anyone or anything and you can't escape - it's like death and taxes. | Jun 18 05:27 |
