Weco:

I said times have changed. IBM went about sixty years without a layoff, and was able to fend off unionization by treating their employees decently. I have generations of IBMers in my extended family, and still have business relations with the company. It certainly isn't the All-American company any more. I still have my first IBM uniform from the sixties - black topcoat, black gloves, black soft hat, grey suit, white button-down, conservative tie, calf-length socks, and wingtips. And I was a lab rat, not a salesman or field engineer. Bought it all my first day on the job. It was just like the Army.
