IBM Had Mass Layoffs Every Month This Year (Including at HashiCorp, Confluent, and Red Hat), 'Results' Due in 2 Days' Time
Last month: Did IBM Pay thestreet.com for Puff Pieces? (Like It Did With Forbes)
Hours ago (thestreet.com): IBM’s stock split history: Why Big Blue stopped splitting shares
IBM has a fat chef and several fine cooks. They run the kitchen and count the beans; they cook the books.
IBM management is trying to inflate the stock by spouting out buzzwords like "AI" and indeed, as expected, many critical comments about this have just been mass-deleted at thelayoff.com:
Why was every single comment deleted (we captured many before their deletion; some were an IBM management-friendly troll using LLMs to derail the discussion)? They might say a moderator disliked criticism of a female manager, but many dealt with the subject, not the messenger, so this is just censorship of critics. Anyway, IBM has nothing left to sell except vendor lock-in and bundling.
IBM's "media partners" seem to be engaging (propaganda and puff piece) ahead of the serenade to Wall Street. █
