Thread regarding IBM layoffs

The future of service of IBM Hardware is in peril!

Lenovo has pulled out because service division does not have enough people to repair laptops, desktops and keep up with logo business.

It is insane that customers pay for a premium service and wait weeks to get it due to layoffs and the shifting of experienced workers to other divisions.

All this why they hire labor at ridiculous low salaries to replace legacy workers who have a wealth of product knowledge.

The future of service of IBM HW is in peril as most legacy people are in 50-60’s with 30+ years of service.

Customers are being lied to and cheated out of money on service contracts they cannot honor because of lack of technicians.

I see this bleeding into power, waiting up to 3 weeks for IBM to come and rack replacement equipment. If you do it yourself you void the service guarantee and switch to a standard warranty whose clock starts the day you open the box. Customers are not happy.
