When Red Hat's HR Becomes the Same as IBM's HR (Bluewashing)
Temporary internship (cheap to hire, free to discard):
Earlier this year Red Hat fired hundreds of technical staff. And no, it wasn't just in China, Red Hat did the same in Europe and the media mostly pretended this never happened. We relied on whistleblowers.
Yesterday we pointed out (again) that Red Hat seems to be pushing out workers with PIPs or similar (IBM/bluewashing can lead to that). It wasn't the first time, so we assume it's a widespread phenomenon. We invited whistleblowers to tell us more about it.
IBM is the master of Red Hat and Red Hat's CEO keeps wearing blue - a conscious decision.
If Red Hat keeps sacking very experienced engineers and adding temporary interns from Mumbai, then it seems like the bluewashing (IBM assimilation) has truly taken hold. This will impact products and services of Red Hat. █
