Thread regarding IBM layoffs

GTS Resource Action Commences - June 2018

Emails are going out today - this is affecting GTS and people will be notified before the close of business today. I am hearing that this is affecting Project Managers (again, again, again), and a range of tech positions, I am hearing they will spare developers (not sure if we have any left onshore anyway). Someone mentioned Watson in a separate thread, did not hear anything about it - given all the hoopla re Watson it would not surprise me.

I am just getting tired of all of this - it's plain stupid and the morale is at an all time low. People just do not care. Period.

There is LIFE out there, after IBM - and LinkedIn relationships count a great deal. Make business contacts and concentrate on HR people if you can. I left Fiserv in 2016 and returned a year later due to linkedin contacts and knowledge gain. IBM is a lost firm - once great and almost saved under Lou but then Sammy and Gin Girl killed it off

So true. Teams I know are going through the motions knowing they can't possibly get a job done with the few people left. They are as doomed as the people leaving next week.

@TKCCFCV if PMs will be cut, it'll be a small cut. Not sure about tech positions, they are really cutting to the bone.
