Topics regarding layoffs at Kyndryl

Stealth Layoffs...

So it seems the 'Bench' program has started at Kyndryl as they sort through staff and seek to layoff folks that they feel have reached an end to their usefulness. They'll be going through the motions of finding these folks roles but really...they... — read more

Resiliency practice: $40M in expenses, too many employees

JC, practice lead, made those comments earlier this week at an all-hands call for Cyber & Resiliency practice (" we have too many employees, we have $40m in expenses we need to clean up if we want a job next year"). Nice motivator!

Future in Kyndryl

I spent more than a decade in IBM and am now part of Kyndryl ( US). I got an offer with almost the same package somewhere else. Is it prudent to move on in these turbulent times? The only positive thing I feel about Kyndryl is work-life balance. ... — read more

I don't know how rosy it is....

I don't know how rosy it is. When I look at - https://www.theregister.com/2022/08/04/infrastructure_services_giants_still_being/ it looks to be that they are probably cutting by the end of the year or in Q1. Those savings will inevitably come from... — read more

Kyndryl Partners with the World!

The "partnership" announcements are getting embarrassing. Obviously, Kyndryl can't do anything modern on their own. Why in the world would anyone pay a Kyndryl premium for Azure infrastructure? Some of these partners are already dead too! Trying... — read more 

Anyone notified yet of a Raise?

I had thought that on one of the Open Mic calls it was said that raises would occur effective July 1st. Since that day is tomorrow I would think folks would have been notifed by today if they are receiving anything. Has anyone, anywhere, gotten a... — read more 

A shared culture

I just read an interview with UK/I chief Tosca Colangeli in which she clearly points out that we are “steeped in the same history and culture” with Big Blue and there are no plans to change... — read more 

So many are quitting

I don't understand why. Things haven't improved since the separation from IBM but they haven't worsened either. What's making people suddenly decide that they can't take it anymore and leave in such large numbers? I'd really like to know if I'm... — read more

The oldest play in the book

IBM is over stuffed Kyndryl. This is straight out of the Intel server to Lenovo playbook - it's an old trick and it works. IBM paid Kyndryl to handle the layoff’s of the overstuff. When IBM used this play with Lenovo, attrition went up, thus... — read more

It's been nearly five months

Tell us guys and gals, how does it feel to be away from IBM? Have things improved drastically or are they the same? I'm hoping for the sake of all of you that you didn't take the horrible culture with you. I know my job would be much easier if I... — read more 

Kyndryl Russia

What is the position of Kyndryl on Russia? Are they going to sell in Russia? Arvind has expressed on this subject but I have not heard anything from Kyndryl leadership.

Who will acquire Kyndryl?

The share price keeps crashing and it is now an extremely cheap buy. At price of less than $4B (+ 1.2B in debit) with over $19B in annual revenue and a large pool of talent getting hold of 1000's of hosting and Cloud contracts makes this an ideal... — read more
