@br actually they cut 8000 people in the US and hire 16000 in India. They call it getting a bigger bang for the buck. Of course, the reality is that that most of the work in India is still done manually and so, it is a total waste of money. But try telling that to losers like Alvind who put a spin on IBM US job losses and layoffs as job gains.

They can classify job roles however they want to tell a story. All you need to know is they cut 8,000 people in the US and then hired over 8,000 people in India.
