I joined IBM ISL some 8-9 months back. Before joining, I had asked extensively about the company and the culture, here and everywhere else. No one mentioned anything negative to me at that time at all.
Now, looking at Fishbowl, I can see a lot of layoff posts here at IBM ISL, making me second guess my decision to join. The atmosphere in this bowl is not healthy at all. I wonder if people can openly share the exact reasons why they're being laid off, so that there is some clarity at least.

I’m so worried I’ll get laid off. Last week I was slammed, but this week is slow, and I’m just so anxious...

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

@PWC is worst company for freshers. They are force innocents to resign by themselves and threating then to not to mail anyone and not share this context to anyone worst company, if layoff means ok removing and threatening to not to disclose to anyone means the have lost every single moral. Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
