It’s been confirmed that there’s a third redundancy consultation going on in UK where NONE of the staff have any terms in their contracts of employment that entitle them to a defined redundancy payment. It’s also been confirmed they’re to receive a years salary as a payment, not statutory minimum which IBM UK states is their policy. It’s on a specific account where there’s a mixture of GTS and GBS people.
IBM refuses to comment on why they would do this but it is noted the circa 60 employees on the bigger payout are represented by a trade union.
Come on IBM. Be the company you used to be, especially at this time. Be fair and give everyone a decent payout.
