IBM have recently made another large set of Involuntary redundancies across their Technical Specialists, in the UK - leaving around 20 June.
Who they have left to try an unbungle the mess is of concern? IBM are only interested in keeping Sales people, with the Technical bods largely offshore now...I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

However I couldn't find anything to corroborate that although they do use Infosphere which might be in the same area."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment
