Now that we know who's gone and who's here to stay - at least for this round - it's obvious once again that nepotism runs rampant at IBM.
When people say nobody is safe from layoffs, I always have to laugh at how naive they sound. Maybe you and I are not safe, but I've seen incompetent people with little to no knowledge of their jobs stay in their positions while some of the best employees are laid off too many times to count. Why? Because they are related to or friends with the right people.
And apparently even a pandemic doesn't change that fact.
