Today, as in the past, when people turn to our company, I believe they are looking for how IBMers approach problems, as well as for the types of problems we choose to approach. They seek a kind of relationship, in addition to the outcomes of that relationship. And they are drawn to a set of values that reflect their own." -- Sam Palmisano from http://www.ibm.com/ibm/sjp/ I guess this approach to a problem (IBM screwing employees out of rightfully earned income) represents the values of the business community at large, no?
