Trying to wedge your 7,000-employee layoff into the narrative around A.I. fear so you can hire folks back in 6 months at a reduced salary they'll accept because they think they're competing with a robot is some lame shit. Just admit nobody knows what IBM does in this space anymore and you're downsizing as a result.
The notion that the company that built Deep Blue in 1997 and Watson in 2011 is only now going to pivot to AI in 2023 at the cost of 7k jobs is laughable.
