International Business Machines will inform an undisclosed number of US employees that their jobs are being eliminated, with much of the work being sent to India.
An IBM spokesperson declined to comment on the plan.
IBM managers have been receiving training from human-resources specialists on handling the layoffs. Earlier this year, IBM sent notices of layoffs to 4,600 employees in its software, sales, semiconductor and finance groups.
IBM employed 398,500 people world-wide at the end of 2008.
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
