I would not go back to IBM, no matter how good the pay or benefits are, because their RA tactics is fundamentally broken. It isn’t based on actual low performance in sales or delivery, nor is it aligned with long-term growth habits. Instead, it’s driven by biased judgment and office politics. You can do your job well, hit every target, never complain, and even outperform others on your team, yet still end up on the chopping block.
The reality is that employees are treated like numbers on someone’s spreadsheet high up in the chain... if you never had much visibility with that person, often due to weak leadership in your reporting line (no skip-level meetings, no proper alignment, there is noo support for your role), youre vulnerable... When the pressure comes, especially over just one or two quarters, you’re likely to be cut regardless of your actual contributions.
That kind of RA strategy is not only nonsense it’s also very much destructive. It ki-ls IBM. It undermines trust, demoralizes employees, and wrecks careers for no justifiable reason. it hurts both the people and the company itself.
After pushing 26,000 employees out, the tax agency is scrambling to find enough personnel to carry out its duties.

I just had a former CDW coworker let me know that the jobs of a few people who were let go in July are now posted on LinkedIn. These were longer-term coworkers who were making a clear and critical impact for CDW who were let go--all of them in their late 40s/early 50s.
And now CDW tries to rehire for those jobs?
I see a lawsuit in CDW's future.
So I seem to remember during the Facebook and Google massacres, there were reports that people were just getting asked to come back, not even interview.

I wonder if the same thing will happen here.
If you were laid off, would you come back of asked?
