Just saw the news about the latest cuts at IBM, specifically mentioning the Rocket Center. Around 700 people supposedly gone on August 27th according to WCBC Radio. Anyone here actually affected by this or know more details? It's always a bit of a shock when it's your location, and the official channels are usually so quiet until much later, if at all. Trying to get a sense of the scale and which departments took the biggest hit. Been feeling uneasy with all the talk about automation and AI replacing roles, and now it seems to be hitting home. Let me know if you've heard anything concrete.

That's rough news about the Rocket Center. It's never easy to hear about job losses, especially when information is scarce. Hoping anyone impacted lands on their feet quickly. It's a tough environment out there right now, and companies making these kinds of decisions rarely communicate effectively until it's already happened. Makes you wonder about the long-term stability and strategy when these large-scale adjustments are needed so frequently.
