IBM’s Finance & Operations employees face a tough decision as the company announces a new return-to-office policy, dubbed a ‘soft layoff’. Workers are given an ultimatum to relocate near IBM’s North Carolina or New York offices or opt for a severance package, with the company planning to replace costly staff with AI and new hires. This move is aimed at cutting costs and boosting profitability, as AI is set to take over certain roles. IBM’s CEO aims for significant revenue growth by 2025, with the company emphasizing efficiency and cost-cutting measures. Management is focused on restructuring and reducing the workforce, with a shift towards AI integration. TechRadar Pro has reached out to IBM for further clarification on the policy changes and the impact on employees, awaiting a response.
