schestowitz[TR2]" isn’t the difference that the layoff you get severance and for job applications you don’t have to say you were fired for “cause” but laid off due to lack of workJan 27 14:14

schestowitz[TR2]The indian id1ot at top is hallucinating. The extensive hiring is in India and layoffs are in the US. He is either demented or a lying S-B. I think, he is both.Jan 27 14:19

schestowitz[TR2]The Covid overhiring excuse is ridiculous. That overhiring occurred from mid 2020 through mid 2022. The layoffs started in late 2022 and are continuing to this day over 3 years later. The correction is long over with but the layoffs continue. Mainly because Wall Street demands ever increasing EPS at a time when top line Revenues aren't growing. When this bubble bursts it's going to be ugly.Jan 27 14:19

schestowitz[TR2]@OP nothing but a pack of lies and deflection from the Liar In Chief at IBM, Alvind, when he was responsible for moving huge numbers of jobs from the US to India on the flimsiest of pretexts - cost savings, which really were not cost savings at all. You can spin the story and way you like but the truth will come out. Alvind needs to be canned for the lies.Jan 27 19:50
