IBM registered itself (in Brazil) as a sales company.

sales workers have a 44-hour workweek — four hours more than the limit for tech workers. The latter are also entitled to a higher minimum wage, overtime pay, and profit participation — a year-end bonus that depends on the company’s annual profit.

Unions in two Brazilian states are suing IBM in an effort to be recognized as tech employees, giving them access to better wages, benefits, and profit participation.

Sounds like IBM save on wages, benefits, and profit sharing by not doing what otherwise is so painfully obvious it should already be the case.
