Guys, do we really need to report every single layoff, resource action, outsourcing or downsizing the company is going through.
Things will continue to go down, even the C-level lineup is touting this – so, really, are IBM layoffs any news at all.
I’d like to propose that we report only resource actions that cumulatively address 50,000 or more employees globally, or, let’s say 15,000 here in the USA.
We will be going through a major tech shift over next 10 years, some groups will thrive, some groups will get get hammered, that’s pretty much all that needs to be reported (also, please spare me from Public Sector / Government trolls – they hire and fire randomly, after 5 years over there I was never able to figure out any pattern there)….
