IBM tells thousands of remote employees to come back to office or find new jobs
- enduser 9y agoLooks like this isn't in regard to the effectiveness of remote work. It's a way of using a blanket company policy to effect a major workforce reduction, keeping the most dedicated employees, without engaging in politics or performance evaluation. I wonder if they have back-channel offers in place to keep the most effective remote workers engaged.

- Boothroid 9y agoWhat is IBM? I jest of course, but I cannot remember the last time I saw any interesting news from them, and cannot remember the last time I saw any hardware, software or services with their name on it. Going by their numbers they are still a big concern, but what struck me was their number of employees - 380k! according to Wikipedia. With that in mind I'm not surprised they are downsizing. Profit per employee must be pathetic compared with peers.
