Layoffs are never announced.

Damn...ANOTHER ONE?! That's like 6 and counting in past 2 years. Finance leadership must suck at managing client finance and overhead. So sorry for all affected doing the real work on client business while execs still collect bonuses.

About a year and a half ago, Inizio Evoke stopped internally announcing layoffs that were happening every 2 months or so. You’d go to email or Teams someone and just find out they were let go. Pooof, gone into thin air!

There are also legal reasons why you can’t announce it

Hi fishes,

My joining date mentioned in IBM Offer letter which I received just a while ago is second week of November, 2021. However, I have 90 days notice period. It also says to accept within 3 days and a clause is written that joining date can be revised only till 5 days. Will ibm revise my joining date ? I am very anxious it's too late so I cant even call recruiter.

Please suggest.
