Someone reported yesterday on the watching ibm facebook page: "Heard a rumor today - 2nd round of layoffs coming shortly - the 1st 2016 round was called Saturn - this 2nd round will be Solitude - evidently HR was overwhelmed and couldn't handle all the layoffs the first time.." Another comment said that lists of names/victims were due to HR from managers yesterday, the 11th.

It is most certainly true there will be more in 2nd Quarter 2016 , as Cloud and others are not making revenue. You know it's coming, when the project that you're working on tells everyone on the project, " You must finish your project milestones/tasks by the end of June 2016 no matter what". Guess what, the last day of June 2016, just happens to be the end of 2nd quarter. Everyone, "get ready", it's coming.
Right, and the fact that every single time this was predicted, it actually happened, classifies all of this as rumors to you? You don't understand that people are being laid off consistently, by the thousands in IBM? Did you see the notice that was just given BY IBM to one of the states? What planet are you from, again?
Previously mentioned here too..."layoff in Q2"
Start a rumor and watch it fly.......
