To all those who are about to join ibm .ibm is firing massively but keeping it secret . I was terminated today after approx 3 years of service in ibm. I had no project in hand for 3 months .I was asked to upskill which I did successfully including certification. They put me on pip even after that . I tried to reach out to project managers and resource managers but no one replies here on slack and they will go on long leaves also . This ibm is now a complete lala company.

Ibm charges it's clients a very high premium rate of billing and right now it is shedding headcount in the project in a hurry burry way . The projects are short term like 1 month , 2month ,3 months and that too is not guaranteed to last for this short duration also.
