Hmm, sounds like IBM likes tech writers--maybe I should peruse their job
board! ;-)
After having several year-long contracts cut in mid-year, I would stay away
from IBM, unless you like learning that your contract ended via voicemail on
your way back from vacation. (They -management- knew about the cuts before
we left, but were ordered not to tell anyone.)
Nope, IBM may like quality documents, but they aren't that employee
friendly. They aren't going to impact my financial health again.
