Tech giant IBM is set to cut around 9,000 jobs in the US in 2025, with a significant portion of the affected roles expected to shift to India, The Register reported citing sources familiar with the matter.
Job cuts have been confirmed in Raleigh, North Carolina; New York City and State; Dallas, Texas; and California, the publication said.

I worked at a company that used IBM software heavily and everything they made was the biggest pile of shit imaginable.

That's what many of the customers I used to share with IBM said.

Whatever happened to their Watson product. They seemed to be the first to AI and fumbled the ball.

Servers, SAN solutions, API management, they now own Hashicorp... lots of things. Ear to the ground suggests that they are losing market share though - i know lots of former customers, but not many current customers.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Damn not just the Feds slashing jobs

We will see if IBM's offices get protests like the ones we see directed at Elon's company. Not expecting that though.

It would be funny if it weren't so wrong. Companies that perform poorly in a free market die. Departments that perform poorly in government get more money.

Then, when you get a Trump and Elon that simply do minor cuts (when considered in the context of time) its like the end of the world. People literally call you a Nazi (which is funny when you think about it) and burn people's cars that we've been told we all need to drive to save the planet.

I can't keep up with the mental hoops these people jump through. Its not logic. Its madness.

Cutting jobs everywhere, we need more jobs not less. Tough times coming all the damn time.
