Like With Red Hat and Other IBM Acquisitions, the RAs (Layoffs) Seem to Already Extend to HashiCorp
In the above screenshot (recent hours shown), the first pair of posts doesn't seem like a surprise. IBM is firing loads of people and it's not even done yet...
That last one is interesting because HashiCorp was only recently acquired by IBM; if HashiCorp employees are already culled, then it's another Activision (Microsoft).
IBM's CEO doesn't seem to know what he's doing; he's just grabbing revenues of companies other than IBM and then ruins those companies.
Of course it is possible that HashiCorp staff just got PIP'ed or saw the writings on the wall and then left. The net effect is similar. IBM prefers for people to leave (it causes them to leave) because it is cheaper for IBM.
Buying more companies will increase IBM's debt and not save IBM. As it was put 2 hours ago by Anonymous:
IBM will not find a profitable business model anytime soon simply because IBM no longer has any products to sell to customers. IBM has become a corporation that exists solely for the purpose of being a corporation.The only real products that IBM still has are the mainframes. That's not enough to sustain a bloated carcass of IBM's size.
Vaporware, Quantum Spin and Profound Thoughts on AI aren't products. One can get these for free from Google searches.
IBM is just a dying giant. █
