IBM - quiet layoffs up to 9,000


Recommended Posts

Posted

IBM is cutting thousands of jobs across multiple locations in the U.S., and its Cloud Classic unit hit especially hard, reports The Register. The company has not publicly acknowledged these layoffs, but insiders suggested to The Register it is part of an ongoing effort to restructure and shift jobs offshore, particularly to India. 

 

The report estimates that about 9,000 positions may be at risk, including a quarter of the Cloud Classic group and 10% of the Cloud group, which is a separate business unit. The job cuts are happening in cities like Dallas, New York, Raleigh, and various locations in California. Employees from several departments, including consulting, cloud infrastructure, corporate social responsibility, internal IT, and sales, have been affected. Some learned of their termination through individual notifications, while others heard about it in internal meetings.

Has it been reported anywhere else than The Register ?

 

My cousin works there and hasn't heard of any major layoffs

 

The Register is known to lurk TheLayoffs.com site and publish discussion as first hand news
