Not seeing many (if any) sales RA's. I'm in AI Applications and haven't heard of anyone that got the boot today. If it's not this round, I'm sure we should be expecting it in the 2nd round in August just like last year.

It looks like Software sales hasn't been hit....not that i know of at least.
I'm in Channel sales and got RAed.
Based on the 2Q incentive bonus they laid out a few weeks ago for sellers that stated "to be eligible to receive payment under this opportunity, the individual must be employed by IBM at the time payment occurs in the September cycle"– I would say an August round of RA's that includes more sellers may be next in line.
There are no sales people left to cut, workforce is already barebone after all the cuts in 2017/2018.
A lot of sales people in GTS were RA'd
Many Digital Sales folks in Dallas/Fort Worth and Atlanta were cut.
Channel Sales was also hit.
Doesn’t seem to be many sales involved, not to say it won’t happen in the future.
well if its anything like most of IBM everywhere - there are hardly any sales guys left - they were cut, and those left have to try to keep up with making stupid numbers. and are cadenced on a daily basis. Less people same work, but you cant connect with all the customers so they start to look elsewhere.
