I think that message is relevant for the kind of services that IBM provides. Most of IBM’s recent come from Consulting. IBM’s consulting charges start at around $250 /hr. Most of IBM’s customers are Fortune 500 and old school companies that have already mandated a return to office .
So if the client is in the office but the consultant charging the big bucks is remote, how will the client be happy.
- op00to 3y agoNo tech consultants I know are on site if there’s no data enter to stack etc. they may show up for the first meeting but after that it’s wfh like the rest of us. even at IBM!
- stupiddumb5555 3y agoIBM consultants are not on site. It wouldn't be possible for them to be on site because as a consultant you typically do not have just one client doing one assignment for 6+ months. The "consultants" that need to be on site for extended periods of time aren't doing consulting, and they are called contractors not consultants. Accenture and all those sorts of companies are not actually consultancies, they are outsourcing firms that adopted the term to give a positive spin to being a meet grinder. IBM mostly does consulting, they spun off a lot of contracting and on site stuff when they ditched Kyndryl, but even before they ditched Kyndryl GTS wasn't generally deploying people to a customer site unless there was an urgent problem with hardware.
