Meanwhile in the UK,...
.... those that remained IBM are getting the tap on the shoulder and being informed of their redundancy this week. I had a couple of messages via LinkedIn, and two former colleagues down at Warwick have had said tap. One was a bit older than me, so 50+ and the other a tad younger, with nearly two decades service under his belt. Not that two decades makes much difference when the statutory minimum offering is in place.
At the other end of the spectrum in the UK, IBM have 'Client Innovation Centres' and hire recent graduates, on 23 month contracts, so this will skew the age demographics, as these hires will expire and be replaced with more fresh faced meat.
