IBM To Cut More Than 110,000 Jobs - Report
P.S. Sorry for posting an IT related story in General
An unconfirmed report...However, some technology commentators have said they are sceptical about the size of the reported cuts.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Job Cuts And Weeping Workers At IBM India - Forbes
As IBM reportedly cuts 50,000 India jobs, CEO replaces Global Services leader -TechWire Insider :: The Skinny at WRAL TechWire
But IMO there aren't that many able techs left in IBM. Many services are delivered from India, so deep cuts there would cause delivery issues I suspect. However, another POV, per a comment I read on another website, is that IBM customers are fed up with sub-standard off-shored services. See

Well not sure what experiences other people have had with IBM but mine were not positive.
Overpriced overblown software which requires in depth customisation to get it to do pretty much anything.
Poor development practices making the above a horror story.
I could go on but I won't.Comment
