Perspectives On the Latest IBM Layoffs

Posted by timothy on Tuesday June 25, 2013 @02:07AM from the still-biggish-blue dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After IBM reported disappointing Q1 earnings in March, to nobody's surprise, layoffs (RAs or 'Resource Actions' in IBM parlance) were announced two months later; June 12 seemed to be when most of the pink slips were handed out. While this is hardly a novel occurrence at IBM, this time the RA'd employee water cooler page is now open for everyone's inspection, and Cringely let loose with some predictable I-told-you-so's about financially oriented IBM senior management. Dan Burger at IT Jungle has a more numbers-oriented take on the latest round of layoffs."

The decaying imperialist order is breeding pauperization and barbarism even in the wealthiest centres of its power. The only way out is the road of the Bolsheviks! Workers to power!
