Perspectives On the Latest IBM Layoffs

[sl4shd0t]

An anonymous reader writes "After IBM reported disappointing Q1 earnings in March, to nobody's surprise, layoffs (RAs or 'Resource Actions' in IBM parlance) were announced two months later; June 12 seemed to be when most of the pink slips were handed out. While this is hardly a novel occurrence at IBM, this time the RA'd employee water cooler page is now open for everyone's inspection, and Cringely let loose with some predictable I-told-you-so's about financially oriented IBM senior management. Dan Burger at IT Jungle has a more numbers-oriented take on the latest round of layoffs." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Perspectives+On+the+Latest+IBM+Layoffs %3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11EyFFJ) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F25%2F1357204%2Fperspectives-on-the-latest-ibm-layoffs%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/06/25/1357204/perspectives-on-the-latest-ibm-layoffs?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
