IBM to hire veterans


At first I thought a change of policy, re-employing a tiny percentage of their own veterans that they have fired over the years while moving to cheaper overseas employees with less rights - or "global talent" as IBM would have it.  But no, military veterans to be trained in use of IBM services and software:

So cynically this gets IBM back in the governments eyes, and puts them in line for government contracts.  While that's not bad, it is when IBM has done so much to reduce it's headcount in expensive countries.
