Ibm India Recruits 5,000 New Positions in 2010 After Targeting 5,000 Management Initiated Layoffs Elsewhere
Beware the chimes toll for IBM US, Canadian and UK employees with insufficent technical and money making skills. If your overhead say goodbye.
Top management has made it clear there is no room on the ship for you.
Top level IBM Indian and US executives are reviewing finalized surgical plans to target 5,000 US, Canadian, and UK positions to fund 5,000 NEW positions in IBM India .
This breaking news came from Mumbai.
Among international sources cited,” “We plan to focus more in the services sector by opening more BPO centers in India. We would recruit at least 5,000 people to support this expansion,” IBM Poland’s Senior Advisory Consultant, Selby Mascarenhas, said in Mumbai.”
IBM CEO and top officials plan to take the head count from IBM U.S, Canadian, UK, and other developed markets in a first phase of management initiated headcount reductions based on IBM’s 1,2,3 performance system. Management through out the company are telling employees that the mandate is to make a greater percentage 3 performers so they can go out with no severance and benefits packages.
IBM is recruiting for Business Process Engineering Process positions. IBM has existing offices in larger cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Gurgaon and Kolkata. IBM has begun breaking ground to expand offices in all these cities so it can accommodate new employees.
Sam Palmisano has made it clear you don’t have a real job at IBM any longer unless you have deep engineering skills in various areas of specialization like Grid Computing, Cloud Computing, communications, SAP and BPO. Overlay employees in the US, redundancies in sales and distribution will take major whacks in terms of management initiated layoffs in 2010.

Indeed the Global Market is a tool of the rich in their pursuit of vast quantities of wealth, wealth, wealth.
This has already begun..I know of several people in both the UK and the US that have been effected. The part that is most upsetting is that IBM is reducing the performance ratings just so they don’t have to pay out severance or medical. We need a government that protects the workers of such atrocities. No employee at IBM has an advocate. Those days are gone. Whatever management decides to do they can with no recourse.
