Oh my.

So this new is true then.

So many affected in this trying times.  sad.gif

But i wonder what went wrong?
IBM makes computer & chips ya? What’s the nature of their business really?

Servers Z,I,P, X series, software, lotus notes, POS, ATM, PC and laptop. IBM cyber is call centre mainly for ASEAN region providing 24*7 or 9*5. Most of the staff on contract like intel, amd & most US companies, subbed to employment agencies. Many jilat US think US talks abour rights and very good but in reality, many of their companies prefer contract based, can easily dispose workers and close without paying compensation.

cyber office is mainly technical support, and customer service, since IBM stopped selling hardwares, so no need so many ppl support (read: cutting ppl, many ppl kena VSS)
they are consolidating to new offices, nowadays everyone wfh, no longer need office spaces
also, IBM GTS services (largest brand) is going to spin-off to newco, so even less support is needed for IBM

what failure? the Grand Strategy of focusing on dunia akhirat and religious studies is working well. in fact, we should accelerate this and kick all MNCs out. Then we can better nurture our GLCs.

bodoh statement. PN Gomen is focusing on Blue Ocean strategy. No point chasing for new MNC setups. We focus on religious studies and moral studies. No point on focusing on material wealth. Spiritual wealth is superior.

For all the "jaya" suffix, it sure doesn't live up to its name.

POS ATM stopped long time ago

since ~4yrs ago IBM already reducing contract worker, hired those essential as permanent
but still, many kena sold to Lenovo ~2yrs back, along with some of the business

IBM Cyberjaya closed shop already?

AFAIK, that company has been in Cyberjaya for quite some time, since 2004 if i am not mistaken.

Got a few of my friends working there also.

Feel hesitant if want to ask them, afraid they are affected also.  sad.gif

/k can confirm this news? Thanks.

Stay strong to those who are affected!  console.gif

I don’t mind we all tok kok sing song bash here there in /k biasa la kan?

But when it comes to ones’ rice bowl, we better respect them & pray for the best.

Because we don’t know when will our time is up.

Let’s support those who are affected and possible give potential “lubangs/opportunities” to them.
