All you conspiracy theorists need to stop and think that maybe, just maybe, this was a comment about the amount of hours required and the location in which he'd be required to work them (IBM staff are often allowed to work from home).

Prospective employees beware: Is IBM (aka the big blue tyranny) really the type of company you want to be working for?
