IBM to cut 3,900 jobs as it reorganizes business

IBM will slash some 3,900 jobs, slightly more than one percent of its workforce, related to businesses it has divested.
 

The computing company based in New York state did not talk of job cuts in its quarterly earnings report published Wednesday, however, nor in a call with analysts to discuss the financial results.
 

IBM said it would take a one-time US$300 million charge in its first quarter this year, which was related to the layoffs.
 

This cost is "entirely related" to the spin-off of Kyndryl and the disposal of health data and analysis businesses, an IBM spokesperson told AFP.
 

"It is not an action based on 2022 performance or 2023 expectations," the spokesperson added.
 

The more than century-old technology firm reported a profit of US$2.9 billion in the final three months of last year, some 17 percent higher than the same period in 2021 despite revenue remaining flat at US$16.7 billion.
 

"Clients in all geographies increasingly embraced our hybrid cloud and AI solutions as technology remains a differentiating force in today's business environment," IBM chief executive officer Arvind Krishna said in an earnings release.
 

The company founded in 1911 announced late last year that it will invest US$20 billion in semiconductors, quantum computing, and other cutting-edge technology in New York state.
 

Meanwhile, tech giants have been tightening belts and laying off workers to endure tough global economic conditions and a return to pre-pandemic lifestyles less dependent on Internet services.
 

Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google's parent company Alphabet have all recently laid out plans to reduce workforces, after hiring heavily during the pandemic to meet increased demand for digital services.
 

IBM宣布裁员3900人

《华尔街日报》1月26日报道,IBM加入了裁员大军,周三宣布将裁员约3900人。该公司发言人表示,此次裁员将源于其Kyndryl的分拆和医疗健康业务的剥离,该公司将因此产生约3亿美元的费用。根据该公司最新的年报,此次裁员将使其28万的员工总数减少1.4%。
