So it seems the 'Bench' program has started at Kyndryl as they sort through staff and seek to layoff folks that they feel have reached an end to their usefulness. They'll be going through the motions of finding these folks roles but really...they... — read more

Making the right moves?? Apparently this analyst hasn't been tracking the stock price nor the revenues since Kyndryl became a company. https://www.forbes.com/sites/patrickmoorhead/2023/01/26/kyndryl--spinoff-from-ibm-making-the-right-moves/
LMAO Kyndry is a joke!
Your comrades are gone from IBM too!
Resiliency practice: $40M in expenses, too many employees
JC, practice lead, made those comments earlier this week at an all-hands call for Cyber & Resiliency practice (" we have too many employees, we have $40m in expenses we need to clean up if we want a job next year"). Nice motivator!
Kyndryl loses $281m in the quarter as modernization agenda continues

How does a company with $18B in annual revenue have a market cap of $1.8B?
Do all of the contracts expire next month or something?
Future in Kyndryl
I spent more than a decade in IBM and am now part of Kyndryl ( US). I got an offer with almost the same package somewhere else. Is it prudent to move on in these turbulent times? The only positive thing I feel about Kyndryl is work-life balance. ... — read more

“We’re shrinking less than when we were part of IBM,” Schroeter said.
. . yea, but still significantly shrinking. Here cometh thine "just in time for the holidays" pink slips. Morale is so low - maybe even lower than the sales forecast. Bless us all.
40,000 strong by end of year
Heard it from me first - thousands upon thousands of those stupid enough 2 stay be walking the unemployment line by end of 2022. No way 80k+ sustainable for much longer. No way.
Kyndryl Partners with the World!
The "partnership" announcements are getting embarrassing. Obviously, Kyndryl can't do anything modern on their own. Why in the world would anyone pay a Kyndryl premium for Azure infrastructure? Some of these partners are already dead too! Trying... — read more
Anyone notified yet of a Raise?

New to Kyndryl, have a question from old IBM'ers/Kyndryl
I worked at another company for 5 years until they got rid of the IT staff and moved us over to IBM in 2020. Then 2021 we were moved to Kyndryl. In these 2 years nothing changed. My job stayed the same at company X until a few weeks ago Kyndryl... — read more
So many are quitting
I don't understand why. Things haven't improved since the separation from IBM but they haven't worsened either. What's making people suddenly decide that they can't take it anymore and leave in such large numbers? I'd really like to know if I'm... — read more

The oldest play in the book
IBM is over stuffed Kyndryl. This is straight out of the Intel server to Lenovo playbook - it's an old trick and it works. IBM paid Kyndryl to handle the layoff’s of the overstuff. When IBM used this play with Lenovo, attrition went up, thus... — read more
Does anyone want to do business with Kyndryl? Massive staff reductions are eminent.
Some on thelayoff.com have vividly described the current scene at Kyndryl as a “burning dumpster fire” or an “inadequately disposed sanitary napkin”. I just left Kyndryl sales in March and I feel gross and dirty - I have to take at least five showers... — read more
