Here are a couple of articles from Forbes. Apparently IBM is going to play down the number of layoffs by giving tens of thousand of employees sub-par performance ratings and then firing them for cause. The headcount reduction is the same in the end.

I read about that. That’s playing pretty dirty. Some of these employees have been around forever and never received bad ratings. All of a sudden they are receiving crummy ratings.

I read that if your review is low they are cutting the severance and calling it performance related. Super dirty of IBM. Now, these ex-employees will be trying to find jobs with bad performance reviews.

” giving tens of thousand of employees sub-par performance ratings and then firing them for cause. “

An evil thing to do. There times when lawsuits are needed to hold people to account for bad actions.
