Thread regarding IBM layoffs

The Register - Now IBM Watson Health, sorry, Merative decimates staff

And jobs shift offshore, says source

"A spokesperson for Merative declined to comment, stating in an email, 'Merative does not discuss rumors. We are focused on investing in our six core product lines and aligning our organization with our strategic plan for long-term growth.'

We note that's not a denial of what we've been told."

"We're told those being trained were 'off-shore people.' Merative's former owner, IBM, is known for shifting roles offshore, where labor costs are less."

Ah, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ...

"Our source reported being part of a team of three people let go, all of whom were over the age of 40. Those laid off got three months severance, we're told. 'I got a call from my manager who read a script letting me know my role was eliminated and that was about it!' our source said."
