I think the notable thing here is; this is really a Redhat layoff since IBM "subsumed" or reverse merged or whatever it was with Redhat. My take is that IBM has been a barely warm carcass for > 20 years already and the Redhat deal did nothing to change that. Here I'm certain that the layoff will be onshore, and the continued hiring will be offshore. That's what they've been doing forever, and their lack of growth and innovation continue to reflect it.
- jehb 4y agoI'm no longer there, but I was at Red Hat for three years and change after the acquisition by IBM was first announced. At least through my time there, this couldn't be further from the truth. Red Hat was operated at a completely independent company. I wasn't even allowed to promote IBM products and services because we didn't want to show favoritism over other partners.

- dralley 4y agoRed Hat has not done and is not very likely to do layoffs, and is one of the higher growth areas of IBM of which they speak. We did better than most about not over-hiring in the first place.
