280 employees impacted. I am wonder Ing when this will end. I presune when they fire the remaining employees and nové the Jobs to India.
Any region or country whose cost higher than India will be involved in, sooner or later. Maybe AK has forgotten that 1person * 5000$/month < 5 Indians * 2000$/month
It is not India
From the EWC statement: https://rsuibmsegrate.altervista.org/20250213a.pdf link originally referenced in this post: @OP+1jme9y3jr.
"Especially colleagues working in our International Center in Slovakia are for the
third consecutive year impacted most. Around one-third of current staff working in Q2C and
Support roles is expected to be declared redundant, this counts for roughly half of the total
restructuring of European Support Functions. IBM senior management repeated explicitly that the
European Q2C mission in Bratislava continues to be of strategic importance. However, the current
optimization aims at moving repetitive, commoditized Q2C work to India and Philippines, while all
complex roles that add higher value will remain in Bratislava. It was confirmed that after concluding
the current RA, actual staffing levels in Q2C and Support in Bratislava stay intact."
So? What happened there? In Madrid Centre we are still waiting for something to happen
AK said:”Bratislava is too expensive; we will consolidate and move jobs from there to my beloved, native India”
