Makes sense - the Goal has always been less than 200k HC in Total- closer to the 170K number.
This spinoff just might do the job, lets look at the numbers:-
340K (Current HC) - 90K (Spinoff ) + 20% Attrition = 230k.
Next step is take out 20k or so from IBM BU +10% attrition = magic 170k number!

I hope they're still not expecting people to relocate after laying this on us. GTFO

BS - GTS has right-sized by 15K reg HC in the past 3 years and another 15K subKs. No bench and lots of open seats.

All the fat cats a.k.a execs will choose to stay or jump ship, leaving the minions to sink with the NewCo called H.M.S Titanic!
