• "Let's try to look at this through the lens of business opportunities. IBM doesn't have many. They are getting rid of people because the owners of the company (the shareholders) decided to sell out major parts of the company for cash. The company shrinks, business opportunities shrink as well, less people are needed. Rinse and repeat. Everybody knows." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kb1metdd

• "It doesn't matter what geography you're in...onshore, offshore, domestic, foreign. Labor arbitrage was a thing some time ago, but at this point the lower-level managers are just trying to keep the lights on. They do this while the executives and major shareholders sell shares every time there's a bump in price. Less opportunities leads to less investment, and less investment leads to less employees."
