I know it sounds odd considering the state of the job market, but I keep hoping I'll be on the layoff list. I'm too chickenshit to quit, so having them make the decision for me would be perfect. I was excited when we were spun-off, imagining great things, but I was brought back to reality fast. Now all I want is to be out of here.

@b9 The $200m restructuring budget doesn't necessarily have to be a fake, but is rather just an accounting practice – a new accrued liability line item, where the cash flow itself will be hit gradually as the rolling layoffs are carried out through Q2-Q4/FY27. More painful over time for the folks though
@b0 you are correct, this company is based on nepotism and inhumane behaviour. I wouldn't be surprised if the $200m budget on restructurisation is completely fake.
At this point I don't care if I'm on the list or not. I just want to know SOMETHING so I can make moves accordingly. Announcing you're going to have major "workforce rebalancing" and then not doing anything for two months while your employees are in the dark over their own fate is inhumane.
Let them lay you off, maybe you will be benched, then you get severance and unemployment. You could always volunteer to be on the list for the next layoff and save a coworker :)
the lack of leadership and direction is unbelievable. Set a clear, market-based direction, communicate the vision and strategies and hold people accountable....we're not doing any of these well.
Kyndryl is a gross garbage sh-t drumstick
