Not The Ordinary Office League🏈

After a hard day’s work, nothing feels better than relaxing. But if you’re like these IBMers in Japan, when the work day is over, practice is just beginning. They’re the employee-players of IBM Big Blue, a football team equipped with cheerleaders, a professional stadium and a nationally televised audience. It all started in 1976, when a handful of new IBM Japan employees gathered together and decided to start a team.  By 2001, they not only had an undefeated record, but also reached the top division. Makes us wonder about the job interview, So you have 50 patents, but how’s your 50-yard pass?”
