I’ll start.

Team of 12.
6 have left in the past year.
We have hired 2 replacements, 1 left after 6 months, 1 left after 8 months. HR couldn’t make an attractive enough retention offer for either one.
I just received another resignation today.
I’ve had to adjust down my pipeline of business because I don’t have enough support to deliver on it.
Attrition has ki---d business where I sit.
Leadership is well aware and doesn’t care.
They're not even replacing the people who leave or replace them with clg grads who are gonna do the same thing in couple of years because of pay disparity between ibm vs other big tech.
Once the job market is back ibm is going to be stuck in forever loop of training new grads.
With pandemic they changed raise cycles as well. They're Just evil all around for worker bees
A high number of IBMers have been and are still leaving for the other big Cloud providers (AWS, Microsoft and Google) … clearly these companies have better compensation plans… we all know that at IBM bonuses and the GDP are gone… and raises are extremely low or totally in existent.
Companies that do not pay their employees well are just dying companies. That is clear.
We had three layoffs that wiped out about 60%. Then people started quitting. A few re-orgs later we have around 20% left.
May be a turnover of 20% is normal, the problem with IBM is that the percentage of people quitting are always the best people, and the ones that replace them are just not up to the tasks. So overtime the skills erode and with that you know what happens!
@1dco+1aBMhFc9 most consulting firms have turnover because the bottom 10% are counseled-out every year and there’s annual up-or-out of 5%. This is healthy to keep high quality delivery. At IBM, there is no performance management- terrible people stay in their jobs year after year. There’s also no up-or-out- people get promoted if they just hang around long enough or go through the process enough times. There is no point of comparison between IBM and any other firm in this regard.
Most consulting firms have turnover over 20%/year. So pretty typical, this site just gets people who skew negative.
We lost several that declined a relocation offer to CIC MO.
The center never opened so a few have been hired back on.
"hybrid cloud" but we don't support anything cloud, go figure.
All the seasoned people keep leaving GTS. No one wants to stay to take the kyndryl allergy pill. The quality of new hires is laughable!
@dxg+1aBMhFc9 which BU?
GBS like OP, and I’d say around 90% of my team has turned over in the past 2 years.
We have lost about 15% of the team. All have left for other jobs and not because of layoffs. Ibm will continue to hire but they looking for band 6 and 7 that are at the architects level basically unrealistic
My team is hiring 6 people. GBS
same in systems and our team is growing...
My OM team has grown by 1 head and the dev team by 10%. A couple of other smaller teams have been moved under us.
I'm in Storage (software)
IBM has done the math. Partnerships are what they are pursuing. Reason being is they 1/2 the costs of sales and marketing, allow money to be made on the partnership SW or services, and keep the door open for legacy or hybrid business. GBS will continue to shrink on what IBM has deemed non-strategic ventures. YES that means IBM will cull the herd if they deem you non-strategic (Think not fitting into the Redhat go to market future)
90% over two years.
No lie?
