<deleted> “IBM does not comment on rumors, even ridiculous or baseless ones,” the spokesman said. “If anyone had checked information readily available from our public earnings statements, or had simply asked us, they would know that IBM has already announced the company has just taken a $600 million charge for workforce rebalancing. This equates to several thousand people, a small fraction of what’s been reported.”
The spokesman added that the company currently has job openings as part of the rebalancing process. “Last year, IBM hired 45,000 people, and the company currently has about 15,000 job openings around the world for new skills in growth areas such as cloud, analytics, security, and social and mobile technologies. This is evidence that IBM continues to remix its skills to match where we see the best opportunities in the marketplace,” the spokesman said. <deleted> On Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 3:13 PM, Joe Testa <[email protected]> wrote: > To see the full article, use your favorite search engine and search, WITH > quotes, for the full article title: > > "IBM Dismisses Report of Massive Layoffs" > > then click on the first search result. > > -----Original Message----- From: Mark Regan > Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 4:03 PM Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: IBM’s reorg-from-Hell launches next week - Cringely > > > Supposedly IBM is not dismissing the Cringle report and the massive layoffs. > It was reported in WSJ today. > If you are like me, I don't have a WSJ account, so you will only get to see > a few lines of the artice. > > http://www.wsj.com/articles/ibm-dismisses-report-of-massive-layoffs-1422289059 > Thanks, > Mark Regan, USNR-Ret, 1969-1991 > <>< > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mark Regan <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Cc: > Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 7:53 AM > Subject: IBM’s reorg-from-Hell launches next week - Cringely > > http://www.cringely.com/2015/01/22/ibms-reorg-hell-launches-next-week/ > > Thanks, > Mark Regan, USNR-Ret, 1969-1991 > <>< > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- Mike A Schwab, Springfield IL USA Where do Forest Rangers go to get away from it all? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
