The IBM employees working on the Red Hat team are experiencing a complete S Show right now. First, they’re told there’s no way the center is closing. Then, told the center is closing and the must move to Austin. Being told Red Hat will never cancel the contract but they may cancel the contract. The same day they announced the move, they announced PIPs. It’s an unorganized mess. Can’t believe Red Hat or IBM is allowing this. Crazy times!

@b0+1js4j2d38 is correct. AK wants to retire in the next year but wants the stock at $300 before he does. That's what all this bloodletting is about.
Train your own replacement in India or get PIpped…
@b0+1js4j2d38
You nailed it. All the illogical things we are seeing is to achieve that. That is the logic behind it all
Go Riddance!!
Glad to hear Red Hat is starting to feel the pain... Welcome to IBM!
Also they are being told to train their own replacement in India; or it’s an immediate PIP.
Listen folks... the IBM stock price has to go to $300 before year end.
IBM will do anything needed to get there in the very short-term. They don't care about the long-term. So, cut, cut, cut... is the name of the game.
Get with the program! lol! And buy some IBM stock!
What is so great with Austin? How many customers IBM has in Austin vs Dallas? Makes no sense at all!
Is the Baton Rouge CIC doing layoffs?
