Thread regarding IBM layoffs

IBM Resource Action 2020

Not my thread, here I am recycling 2018 and 2019 threads. Starting early this year. For 2019 and 2018, see @VZzqzzM and @OLbfSBK - not changing anything except years...

I will be the first one to start it – let’s talk about IBM Resource Action for 2020. I know that there are some rumors already floating around, but let’s consolidate things in this thread. In short I’d like to address the following:

  • Timing of Resource Actions – are we going to see quarterly boosts throughout 2020?
  • Size of layoffs – are we going to exceed, in size, 2019 layoffs – should we brace for a mega cut?
  • Geographies – where will 2020 layoffs going to be concentrated? East? West? US vs other geographies?
  • Verticals – What groups will be hit the most as it relates to the upcoming resource actions?
  • That’s all that comes to mind right now – I am sure I am omitting some other important stuff but that’s what I have right now…

Thoughts?

2019 isn't over yet. There will be plenty more before this year is out. Just look at the results.

For what it’s worth, I’ve heard about a change in the RA policy that would give 60 days notice and 2 weeks severance.
Has anyone heard about Q3 layoffs? My team has been hit by so many budget cuts that we couldn’t have the resources to achieve our goals. I’m concerned.
