I agree, I am certain that there are thousands of great and passionate about FOSS people there. I’m just not that certain about IBM ;) It’s still probably better place to work at than most.

All in all, I am only saying that the fact that somebody cites “personal reasons” doesn’t mean there are no other factors at play.

You shouldn’t burn bridges when leaving even the shittiest employer. So personal reasons it is. We will never know what the truth is ;)
