Re: Hope is on the way for those OUT OF OFFICE messages from IBM

Don't get your hopes too high. They will hire even more in another part of the 
globe resulting in more OUT OF OFFICE messages. There will probably be more 
rants here about their hiring practices as well. Oh well ... the more it 
changes 
the more it remains the same.

Hope is on the way for those OUT OF OFFICE messages from IBM

2009-01-06 Thread Anton Britz
The layoff date is January 23rd. 
Approx. 16,000 employees worldwide will be affected. 
The majority from the US. 
I heard this from a 2nd line mgr. 
Confidentiality agreements were signed in the upper ranks to keep this hush, 
hush, but nothing this big stays out of the light for long. 

Good luck everyone. 

-the fix is in-
