laid off by IBM

IBM may be hiring, but definitely NOT in the U.S.. I got laid off by them after working like a dog .......long nights and weekends. The problem of this recession is there is a redistribution of income on a global basis, basically from the U.S. to the developing countries. This makes me sick. No job in the U.S.. I am not just talking about manufacturing. Companies laid off the U.S. employees and hire cheap labors in Peru, China, India........Then these cheap labors come over with their families.
