Maybe they should do a tool for the employees so they can predict whether they will be laid off.
If this is as 'accurate' as the A.I. skills assessments, they'll be right about half the time the coin flips.
That's why I always make sure my resume is updated on all job sites...
Trust me - it doesn't work. I've been disgusted for over a year and it hasn't tipped off anybody.

Let’s see if I can help IBM with some insights they’ll need to determine flight risk: An employee (young ... in my case) with two + years of experience, stuck on a Services engagement using older technology, is placated by their Manager to remain loyal to said engagement. He/she is informed the Client loves your work and promises that you’ll to be trained on the latest technology and assigned to a new engagement (using the new technology) once the current engagement is finished. A short time later the Client informs the Manager that the employee and the collective staff have done a great job. The Client further states they’ve decided to expand the scope of the engagement and have an approved budget/PO in-hand. What do you think will happen … or in my case happened? I bolted. My depature wasn't a surprise and an IBM HR AI system wasn't required. Money talked and I walked.
It’s not workforce reduction, it’s cost reduction. IBM is focused on costs and has forgotten about innovation and relationships. If you don’t have something innovative to sell, you need to focus on relationships to tide you over the innovative drought. When you have decimated your field force, what’s left. Cost reduction. It’s a death spiral that ends badly unless you can break out of the spiral. IBM is trying to break the spiral with The Redhat purchase. It’s not a bad strategy, BUT manufacturing and low margin services will be thrown to the wolves, because rule number one is it’s all about costs right now. REMEMBER IBM managers manage to how they get paid, not to what the company needs. What’s rule number one? Cost reduction. How will IBM managers respond. Cut costs at the expense of innovation and relationship
So they’ll just lay off the employees who aren’t a “flight risk” am I reading this correctly? Because the ultimate goals is workforce reduction at all costs.
