Thread regarding IBM layoffs

@ymq+1eXGH0if it's a shame they officially reduced the severance to just 30 days (a few years ago, before large cuts)

Bruh I'll be leaving this sh---y place no matter what

How you get a mainframe on a shelf.

We are talking hardware manufacturing here. People aren't doing that from home. They go in everyday and work.

Apparently software people are incapable of doing that?

Let's put smart to work.

Every IBM product sits on the shelf. Especially the stuff that has been sold. Because it sucks and doesn't deliver as promised. So they never deploy it all. Compliance makes a living off it.

if I have to wear a mask the whole time

and you don't think other companies will have the same requirement.

You can't do the same as a healthcare worker, the folks working at the grocery store or the servers at the restaurant?

Aren't you special!

HR has really been tapping this site lately to try and obtain valuable employee insights.

Is the issue going into the office or working a 5 day week?

Do companies give severances anymore? For most people its just 'out you go'

what IBM product sits on a shelf?

It's always a great time to quit IBM. But i won't recommend quitting, just get a proper severance.

Going into the office each day is fine, however ... if I have to wear a mask the whole time ... then No Deal! I'd quit.

Just think of all the manufacturing workers that have gone into the plant every day 5 days a week since the pandemic started

no they haven't, otherwise we would have product on our shelves
and all the companies would not be hiring with sign on bonuses

nice try skippy

Either in the office or at home. Hybrid (especially if something like h w h w h would drive me batty.
