This is IBM. I read this as - we plan to justify laying off our most senior employees due to not reskilling due to AI. This is just another MBA planning their own promo doc.
All the talk about reskilling is just so you stay calm and comfortable while the cows in front of you get a bolt to the head.
Reskilling is useful to help you find an external job more than an internal one in my experience.
IBM has more employees in India that the US. Given the how much USG contracts they have, that's shameful.
Wondering if unions could lobby for something like this.
I know the Kyndryl spin out recently made a decision that US based roles will be limited going forward due to cost goals and have been "workforce rebalancing" teams instead of allowing them to go to the bench to find new roles. The same is not true for offshore resources.
