| schestowitz[TR2] | When Kyndryl went public they had to disclose their go to market plan. You can read it in their founding documents. The big nugget in those documents was Kyndry’s plan to house 92% of their employees offshore so they could be competitive. To date they have exceeded that percentage. Why? Because skilled and semi-skilled labor has become a commodity, and access to the Internet has made location a non-issue. It’s all about who can | Dec 22 18:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | deliver services cheaper! Apple adopted this model years ago and they have driven their market value into the “trillions” range. IBM saw that business model and adopted it (hook line and sinker). If you think IBM will not copy that model you are not paying attention. Designed in the first world, but build and serviced in the third world. It’s all about costs and nothing else, unless you have a very very unique skill set that | Dec 22 18:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM can’t replicate. Those jobs are few and far between. Given Kyndryl’s business model and IBM’s CFO’s desire to lower costs (remember he just committed to an additional 1 billion in savings in 2024 on top of the previous 3 billion dollar commitment), IBM is heading for 20-25k headcount stateside. Unless things change, 2025 is going to be a 2024 replay and yes it’s going to hurt. | Dec 22 18:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The tide is turning against IBM and Kyndryl since they started RAs years ago. If no one buys IBM or Kyndryl products or services, they are forced to go to the wall with their evil management. Alvind will likely be forced to sell more parts of IBM to his Indian cronies in HCL, Wipro or some other dirtbag Indian company at bargain basement prices. The fire sale is coming. IBM and Alvind are going to become irrelevant - all good thing | Dec 22 18:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | s come to an end. IBM Management Greed conquers all in this case. | Dec 22 18:47 |
