Nothing like informing your employees that hard work won’t be rewarded. Wise business decision

It's even more insane when you find out that IBM has a history of forcing their employees to sign contracts that state that anything that their employees work on at home in their own free time, is the property of IBM

A company where I applied wanted me to do that as well. I was going to be a truck driver..
