Rumour About IBM Layoffs in the UK
A week ago: IBM Layoffs in Europe Already Happening or Underway (UK and Spain). They Try Not to Call These "Layoffs".
Further to what we published this morning, there's now this new comment which says: "I’m hearing of individuals being targeted with the usual UK package to leave. Same deal + timeframe as an RA without the big whole department scripted call, follow-up email and deadline for expressions of interest. So perhaps a new approach to an old strategy? And from what I’ve seen, these folk definitely fit an age and length of service demographic."
That was 2 hours ago. It seems concise and sounds credible in light of what IBM European Works Council published only 13 days ago.
So far nobody in the media, not even The Register (UK), wrote about the UK aspect of this situation, so even though this article is very short it covers something new to us. █
