Ouch, that's going to leave a dent.

Good news.

Less bobdom, Less Hypocrisy, Less Snake Oil and better industry.

It's like 1993 all over again - where's Lou Gerstner these days?

I worked for IBM in the late 80s. Lovely company to be an employee but to have the two biggest corporate layoffs in history at the same company in barely a generation is some going.

The bobs probably aren't employed in the first place.

I have just been Boomed there...in the midst of Voluntary redundancies!

Check the status of WFH for contractors. The ones I worked with had pretty miserable stories with the IBM permies insisting on the contractors to be on site all week so that they can w@nk at home most of the time!
