As in 2024, the current RA focuses again
primarily at reducing the level of working in
Support Functions all over Europe. Around 70%
of the current reduction target is aimed at IBM’s
Q2C and Enterprise Operations & Support
(EO&S) missions, Finance & Operations
including Procurement, CIO, Human Resources
including Global Administration, Legal and
Marketing & Communications.
Bend over, European IBMers, here it comes. . .

they have to start with useless sales channels , bunch of useless id--ts are there
Why wasn't the organizational flattening, delayering and hierarchical deconstruction of the consulting organization undertaken when Alvind became IBM CEO and Chairman years ago ? It would have saved the company a lot of money and enriched the shareholders, no ? Sounds like someone at the top was sleeping at the wheel as usual - India style.
Volunteers now, is it ?? How about starting with IBM leaders in the US instead - Alvind and the Pipmunks ? You'll save a ton on money on their supersized salaries and benefits packages.
In Madrid Center IBM is looking for 12 'volunteers' to accept the package and leave the AR Collection teams
@b1+1jme9y3jr regarding consulting, 'At the meeting, IBM senior management explained that it also aims at flattening the company’s organisational structure and delayering and deconstructing hierarchical and approval levels in IBM Technology and IBM Consulting to speed up decisions and actions. The reduction at IBM Consulting counts for approximately 25% of the European reduction, the remaining number is aimed at modest optimizations in IBM Technology. Consequently, the IBM EWC expects especially managers and leaders in band 9 and up in IBM Consulting to be in scope of this restructuring. '
Excellent idea. Is the plan to replace Alvind by IBM's junk AI ?
If we use 2023 - 2024 numbers and the IBM announcement from 2023 that 4% were the workforce was impacted, you are looking at approx 1200-1500 in 2025 numbers. Hopefully attrition, volunteers, and retirements can absorb that number.
Outsource Alvind.
@bm+1jme9y3jr Alvind! Is that you?
Let’s keep on cutting useless support functions… these people are true costs, they bring nothing to the table… bye!
What about cuts to Consulting ? Are those being deferred and why ?
Any of Alvind's Indian buddies and cronies being affected by the RAs ?
