That's a very good point. I wish it were Microsoft, Facebook, or Google. But IBM is not the worst case scenario.

I'll argue that it's at least _a_ worst case scenario, at least from the perspective of most employees. On-thread IBM apologists (thank goodness not many) notwithstanding.

If I was talking to Red Hat about a job - and I just submitted a resume before this announcement - I'd break it off.
