She was praised by the CEO and promoted. After her brother and mom died, she returned from compassionate leave. IBM laid her off

Same thing happened in June this year

I worked for IBM's cloud operations and the younger/newer guys on the offshore team were trained while the older contract staff were not. The cloud manager came out straight and said she didn't want to do 'on the job' training on customer systems - but the younger folks were provided training. But they still lack experience - they didn't know what they didn't know. Then came the layoffs and guess who was targeted. Of course older employers with more experience earn more so were the first to go. I was a technical expert who built server farms elsewhere that exceeded five 9's - IBM not only doesn't have redundancy people assume they could barely keep them up and in one year the cloud churn rate was close to 50% - but layoff the technicians and keep the managers.. :roll eyes:
