Thread regarding IBM layoffs

RA this week

My manager told me today that there’s an RA that will come out soon in news. Any one have any insight on which BUs?

For all those affected, get to work on those Resumes - especially updating job skills. Right Management is very helpful in that department. End of the year is a tough time to be looking, but get your profile out on every job board available. You really never know where the next job will come from. Laid off in June and it took until October but I found a job contracting. It is tough and sad and annoying ... but it is very relieving to have all the IBM BS in the rear view mirror.

Good luck to all those affected.

MD&I (market intelligence) is affected as is digital marketing. I was told that I'm gone this morning. Can confirm that I was told that this is a small one, before a big one hits.

MCO is CHQ Marketing Communications Operations. Not sure how pervasive it is.

Happened today. 30/90, medical for 12 months at 2021 benefit rates then COBRA for another 6. Last day is December 17. Yes to the question of 30 days to find new tole, but why bother. Not sure how big. Think this is just a prelude to a big one. Feeling indifferent, maybe even relieved.

What’s MCO? Which BU?

30 days notice meaning they gave you 30 days to find a role internally?

I'm in the MCO and I got hit today. Same package as last round - 30 days notice, 3 months severance and a year of medical at IBM rate.
