&lt;p&gt;Is Big Blue getting complacent? According to this piece, it just might be, and employees are starting to take notice. IBM has released metrics showing that the number of its employees who are &quot;at least minimally satisfied&quot; with their job has remained flat, at the mid-60-range, for the past five years.

The secret to coming out of the recession successfully is in the power of the employees, and now is the time for companies to do their utmost to show appreciation for their most valuable commodity. &lt;p&gt;
