Any truth to the rumors that we can expect more cuts sometime soon?

“The biggest threat to employees in the MSD is the Big Blue castaways.”. OMFUG…. This is the statement of the century…. And spot on….
Been hearing about the death of the mainframe for 30 years. About the only thing that the mainframe BU really has to fear is maybe the cloud. If Amazon can achieve even moderate success in their porting/emulation efforts there might be some negative impact that offsets the growth of MIPS in certain sectors. The biggest threat to employees in the MSD is the Big Blue castaways.
@1fmz+1eLEJKBK. Moldyframe will have its challenges starting later this year m/early 2023.... trust me....
The buy-layoff-surgery model is broken. If business model is broken, drop like flies.
AlDunlap, MSD is supposed to be in great shape an is on a hiring spree, so any big cuts would be a shock. Even last year was quiet, though we lost a lot of people via retirements and resignations. That might explain the lack of cuts.
You can always expect cuts at brcm
would not surprise me if it were BSG. this is to be expected as Herr Krause can't acquire a big firm, though unclear what was baked into plan... so meeting targets will come from cost takeouts. i thought SED got boned already. not sure about ESD or MF but suspect there is some microsurgery being discussed... lately there have been weird requests of late that leads me to believe something could hit in q3, which would make sense..
be vigilant..
How many were cut from SED in the end and which teams?
Is this across all of BSG or targeted towards a specific BU? SED already took quite a hit in December.
My manager told me most is from software divisions due to slow enterprise bookings. Even crm lowers their forecast not mention brcm
Any info would be appreciated.
