Still wondering when we will be on the RA'd list ... possibly after earnings release on July 18th .. Any thoughts from anyone out there ?

If you are a current IBM employee, please, please accelerate your job hunt. Get out of that place. Rome is burning there while Nero plays the fiddle .
@1egn i stopped looking when i refreshed and got nada everytime ..but I will go take a look again for sh--s and giggles..... and see what it says .. and I wholly agree with you !
To make it worse. Go check out your profile. THEY NEVER 'BLUE MATCHED' ANYONE. My self and a few others have seen that within the system we are still waiting to be processed and maybe refresh the browser. After 2 months the problem isnt the refresh rate. It was IBM out and out lying to its people with zero intention of matching you with another job. I found a new job outside of big blue that is letting delay my start. I am riding this summer vacation out as long as I can. F--- IBM
I'm a home office employee in the U.S. within 50 miles of an IBM office. No one has called me yet,
@sys nothing to add or correct
@rds documentation ? i was gearboxed in mid-May, any search internally is a waste of time. So I was inquiring when the next RA is occurring I would assume sometime around the end of July, based on internal reorgs and what has become commonplace for IBM which are RA's. every qrt. They are downsizing focusing on the new combined org and all the rest of the groups will be whittled down to skeleton crews to basically support current customers. My thoughts as they just did recently with a few Cognos solutions, the rest will be sold off slowly in blocks so they can focus solely on the new Cloud org.
@rds: Can you provide any supporting documentation for your statement?
Prep for RAs has started with a new colocation phase. Now home office employees in the U.S. within 50 miles of an IBM office are being told to shut down their home offices and start reporting to the nearest IBM office or mobility location as of 7/18. No more reimbursement for home phone or mileage to IBM locations. No plans to expand office space, if you come in and a desk is not available too bad. This may frustrate enough to resign before the RA round begins.
By now management has the 2Q financials and the results of the bridge to retirement. I predict a large RA by the end of July.
