Some are reporting quiet micro-redundancies in the U.K. and Ireland (to dodge collective layoff rules), and theres some chatter about managerial cuts in Brazil. [23:17] schestowitz[TR2] Seems like Software & Cloud took the brunt - several people said their entire design and integration teams were wiped. [23:17] schestowitz[TR2] Sales / FSM / Global Sales: many let go, including top performers. [23:17] schestowitz[TR2] MCC: more restructuring, long-timers (20+ years) included. [23:17] schestowitz[TR2] Some reports of impact in Consulting too, mainly public sector (B8) or underperforming units. [23:17] schestowitz[TR2] A few posts mention Research being hit in NY, especially the Albany site. [23:17] schestowitz[TR2] Lots of frustration over suspected offshoring plans and annoyance over the timing - happening during record profits while leadership publicly denied any more layoffs were coming.
