Was told this morning. 30 day notice and 3 months severance. How are they getting around the 60 day notice?
Same, one month and 3 months. This was my first. My manager was sincere. I believe it was.
US, North Carolina RTP office, MCC (Marketing), 57 y/o F.
30 days to find internal job.
90 days lump sum salary as the parting gift.
RBA can be taken as a lump sum too.
You should get a group together and call the news. Also if your position was moved offshore write an email to Trump. Do everything in group. If you were discriminated because of age contact an attorney and file a complain in the EEOC.

Beware if you train your future replacement in India, you are a prime layoff target, as I learned it myself

Lay off as part of Client Engineering team (sales org), AI engineer role, 30 days notice and 3 month severance package, USA, California
This is sad. Some of us were lucky but some of my team mates weren't. After training an unnecessary number of new team mates from India, IBM decides to lay off the few US staffers, some have been with the company for almost 20 years.
Dallas, TX. Client Engineering BTL, 3 months severance. Just got told an hour ago.
March 21st is my birthday: I hope to be saved from losing my job
IBM US layoffs occurred today in the Marketing & Comms org via a call with Jonathan Adaeshak. I'm still flummoxed that Jonathan hasn't been laid off himself. Also zero presence from Clay Cowan, new CMO, who joined IBM in November.
All impacted employees will be informed today (March 18th).
Forced return to office 3 days per week for all employees starts end of April. Must be within 60 miles of a strategic office location. This will encourage further workforce reductions, as intended.
Don't have any information about layoff packages being offered to employees but hopefully it's still respectable (3 months pay + 1 month to find another job internally).
This annual "spring cleaning" mass layoff trend and forced return to office bs needs to end. How will any employee feel secure in their jobs when layoffs are so frequent and broad?

Will the layoffs continue until March 21st?
