[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a crappy employee.

My friends Dad worked at IBM his whole career and was near the Melville Long Island office and he had to move locations.

He picked the location he wanted to retire at and located there and company was generous with moving costs.

Raleigh is a wonderful location, great weather and lower cost of living and some great instate schools.

Poughkeepsie is a wonderful location, amazing schools, very cute area. Suburb of NYC. You can zoom into Manhattan on the train or hop in car  head upstate quickly for sking and fall foliage [/quote]

Your friend’s dad probably worked for IBM when lifetime employment was their policy.  They moved people around to different locations, but they wouldn’t let someone go without a cause.  It changed in the 90s.[/quote]

Quite the opposite! He was there when lifetime employment originally. But they broke that promise, the stock was under $100 a share when he took relocation package.

He picked place he wanted to retire to. Sold his old house. IBM paid moving costs and realtor fees in old house. Three years later laid him off big severance. Did a start up then in late 50s and retired early 60s rich.

He worked IBM 18-55. Yes started 18 and got degree at night. Got married at 20. And yes they laid him off after 37 years. [/quote]
