I left IBM in 1971 after working there three years. It was a great first job and I left on wonderful terms, was invited to return after getting real-world (that is, customer) experience. Three years, of course, meant that IBM's pension plan/benefits weren't relevant to me. I got plenty of customer -- and then ISV -- experience though neglected to return. But as a customer and then ISV executive I had a rewarding decades-long relationship with IBM, including, for a few years, editing and writing a technology magazine for them. So speculating that I'm in any way motivated as a disgruntled ex-IBMer is laughable.
