Hey folks?
Is it true that whole IBM EMEA Talent Acquisition Team (90%) is laid off who was supporting Kyndryl Account?
Only a few are retained who were on B5.
Any comments?

IBM seems much more focused on talent disposition than talent acquisition, so it makes sense they're being eliminated.
IBM has been getting rid of US "talent acquisition" (that makes me laugh since at IBM that is an oxymoron like Jumbo Shrimp and Military Intelligence) for a long time to places like Costa Rica etc. Most of these people have: 1. NO EXPERIENCE in IT. NONE. 2. Cloud none. 3. AI none. 4. Data center none. 5. Speak and write english well - NO. 6. Are now mostly young females - yes. 7. Have any actual experience with ANY IBM offering or solution? No None. The perception they send to the world is atrocious in their weak and amateur attempts to "recruit" in LinkedIn etc. Like everything else at IBM, it had a foul smell and works as well as a donkey on ice skates in a hockey rink.
@OP what a total waste of good employees, if true.
To get excellent employee retention results and get rid of the riff-raff and undesirables who are only worthy of being put on a PIP, you must lay off 90% of the IBM India Talent Acquisition Team. All they do is hire their unqualified relatives and close friends (it's not called the IBM Friends and Family Hiring plan for nothing).
