Most ex-IBMers want to "go home" in some form. It's some bizarre rationale about returning to the mothership when they were actually jettisoned. Don't get me wrong, working at IBM in the 90s was fascinating but a lot of them only had careers there.

I've known and know a not insignificant number of IBMers who were there on the order of 30 years. I've tended to stay in most jobs a fairly long time (decade plus or minus) but nothing like that.
A former manager at another fairly old-line company, it will presumably be the only company he will have ever worked for--albeit through a couple acquisitions and some stuff during dot-bomb.
