Apparently not
What did you do?
Nothing illegal/bad. Couldn’t meet performance expectations. Found that the role wasn’t a fit for me.
CBD can’t get fired unless you’re actually just sitting on the bench for 4 months and refusing projects. Utilization metric doesn’t count for them anymore AFAIK
Weren’t you about to promote?
I’m sorry this happened to you!! I hope you find a job soon! ❤️
I can't help with your Q, but sorry to hear.
Following.
Are you in CbD?
What level OP?
Yes IBM 3 and 1, I was. They say it doesn’t, but it kinda did. It took me a while to find projects, so I spent lots of time on the bench. Also I heard rumors that they were putting people on PIPs and firing people for low utilization, as a part of the GBS transformation
If it's a utilization firing then that's really a lay off because they couldn't find work for you. Just discuss it that way. Lots of firms go through cycles and I've heard that IBM has had a lot of that cycle lately. Not picking on IBM just what I've heard. Huron did that a year or so ago and they're doing a lot better now.
^ yes , Ibm is worse than a big 4 in this sense
It was part utilization and part performance.
How long you been with IBM?
Year and a half
Lol. I found the job. Now it’s a matter of being able to start.
