Presumably IBM invests this money and pockets the difference. What a scheme - your employee retirement plan is actually a profit center. Fucked up that this could be allowed to happen.

The financialization of IBM is now complete, as they attempt to make as money off their own employees as possible.

They only offer a 5% discount for their ESPP with no lookback. They've been using employees to prop up share price for quite some time.

It wasn't several years ago, and it was 5% for a very long time. Looks like they raised it last year.
