Pingback: How the Crowd Led Us to Investigate IBM - CWN Report
Please post this as anonymous. Still lots of layoffs happening in Canada. Contractors this time. They are slowly wiping out everyone outside the super centre in New Brunswick (called APC). By December 2016 most contractors would have been removed. They will replace these contractors with regulars in NB. Turnover and training is horrible. Not enough experience and skills in NB resources. They have no idea what they’re getting into. Canada West staff are down to less than 50% than last year. Client support is already being affected.
They are taking steps to monitor claim and time worked via TvC and ILC integration. We are now machines.

SEC investigated IBM Cloud revenue reporting in 2014. Ignored the issue or were fooled.

IBM did a secret internal audit this year which confirmed Cloud Sales are reported wrong.
IBM CHQ Audit # 16-43-102 dated 5/20/16
Watch to see how cloud revenue changes over the next year.
