I've heard some rumors about potential layoffs this month, I'm hoping somebody here could shine some light on it (or preferably tell me it's not true).
How many people have been benched?
It feels like everyone. I can barely manage the work I’ve been assigned. My team has been decimated.
Global Bench?
Former IBMer here. I left IBM 5 years ago in the area that is now Kyndryl. My husband has stayed and he is in delivery. He was just notified that he has been moved to the Global Bench. In the letter he received with instructions it has a process... — read more
Kyndryl wants Amy to be Scapegoat
Kyndryl wants to make Amy the scapegoat for these fraud allegations.
Layoff news, anyone?
I’m hearing rumors but nothing confirmed. Anyone else?
Kyndryl's lack of a legal response against Gotham is very suspicious
When a company is presented with fraud allegations, they are supposed to quickly swing back hard to protect investor confidence. Kyndryl should have almost immediately launched a defamation lawsuit against Gotham, yet... Silence. This suggests... — read more
The other time Marty was involved in fraud investigations
Remember back in 2022 when Marty was accused of purposely misleading investors on mainframes sales figures? Well, looks like the sharks smelled the bait. Now Gotham, one of the most feared research-based short sellers has accused Kyndryl and Martin... — read more
What did Marty do at the new beach house this weekend?
Planned more layoffs?
Are we finally done with stealth layoffs?
I'm not exactly sure what else to call them, but they've been happening for months on a small scale. A few people here and there, but consistently. It's finally been over a month since I've heard about any new people being let go, so I'm hoping we... — read more
Kyndryl shares slump after Gotham City alleges it manipulated metrics

Layoffs? How is this company still in business?
Seriously? Seems very odd to me that Kyndryl is still in business. No new business. Existing contracts looking for outs. How?
Signings increase in earnings reports
Almost every post here mention no, or very limited new signings. Yet, latest earnings report(s) show constant YtY increase in signings. What’s the catch? Is there really increase in new business, or is it just smoke and mirrors?
Global RA Tsunami to be unleashed in April
Shortly after the disastrous q4 and full year figures are published, an unprecedented global resource action will be unleashed in Kyndryl globally - especially Northern Europe, ANZ and North America employees will be decimated- no BU is... — read more
Layoffs at Kyndryl 2025
Yes. The layoffs are continuing. I am not aware of the volume or locations.
Hiring Consult Partners?
I keep getting contacted by recruiters for "consult partner" roles. What exactly is that role? Sounds like it's both sales and delivery. Is it advisable to consider and join Kyndryl now?
More U.S. Actions
We hear there are more layoffs in progress. One-on-ones scheduled.
Morale
Kyndryl stock is up. How about the morale amongst rank and file
Stock price drastically up
What is the reason of Kyndryl's sudden stock price surge? Within this month it went up to over 34$ from barely 22$
Kyndryl insiders say there's little new business

Kyndryl Cooking the Books
Looking at Kyndryl's lack of new business and the fact that they are losing existing business at an alarming rate, I would not be surprised if Kyndryl is doing a Enron style of creative accounting. Martin and Elly clearly show they lack the knowledge... — read more
How is the situation in Kyndryl Brno
Alot of my colleagues are resigning in Kyndryl Brno, are there as well mass layoff, may be I am lost a bit in times and did not notice much.
I guess someone wanted answers
Happy someone else is as outraged by the blatant disregard for employees in the face of Kyndryls core values. Thanks @OpheliaLavande on Twitter
saving face without a mask
So today's the last day for many experienced professionals in S&R practice. All because of a lack of appreciation on TS's part. Good luck to those departing (not on their terms sadly).
A clone of Ginny's IBM
I had high hopes that the spinoff from IBM would include a business culture departure from Ginny's disastrous IBM strategy to save the company to prosperity. Her misguided approach produced $30B in annual revenue loss, including 27 out of 28 quarters... — read more
Yes or No it is a simple question
Did we experience layoffs, Are there layoffs happening, Yes or No. All I am hearing is noise.
MASSIVE Layoffs in US
Hearing from former colleagues of massive layoffs in the US today with Consult Partners and CTAs being affected the most
Delivery organisation
Another useless org change, all teams will now be under Mary Miller’s delivery organisation. More layer between the account leadership, POD, delivery. Adults in Kyndryl need to focus on winning large deals instead of pencil pushing.
Kyndryl locations in Italy announced in Sep. up to 65% of employees getting furloughed
It'll impact all three sites: https://rsukyndryl.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Comunicato-Cassa-Integrazione-settembre-2024_16-settembre.pdf [English translation of the document] -- UNION STATEMENT Cassa Integrazione: meeting with... — read more
US Reorg
With no large signings in last 3 years, US has been scrambling woth re-orgs, which wont make a difference. Yesterday’s all hands call was a disaster. Amy knows that she may not last long. All non-incentive DPE’s to be under Mary Miller: what will... — read more
Any layoffs since Tuesday?
Do we know anything about the rest of the week? Or is it going to be anytime, anywhere for a foreseeable future? None of us really need this amount of additional stress. It would be better to have more information and know what to expect.
All Hands meeting at 9:30am ET Wednesday, 2 Oct 2024
invite sent at 7:30pm ET Tuesday, 1 Oct 2024 for meeting next morning I wonder what this meeting could be about? Any ideas?
Rolling layoffs flush morale down the toilet
It’s creepy, in a way. Coming to work every day, not knowing if that’s the day. Things happening around you, but nobody’s saying what’s going on. Media report possible hundreds already laid off or in the process. Thousands potentially in total. We... — read more
Kyndryl follows in IBM's footsteps with rolling layoffs likely affecting thousands

It's happening!!
Did Kyndryl just refinance debt to pay debt that was owed to IBM.
I do not understand. Why does IBM keep it's ties with Kyndryl. Big Blue is continuing to hold Kyndryls common stock. This on the surface looks unsightly. I find it quite odd that Knydryl's relationship with IBM questionable. Can anyone make light of... — read more
September cuts
Will anybody be losing his or her job this month? Should we worry or not?
Martin's Transport
FYI, Martin Schroeter (according to the executive compensation documents) is the only executive in Kyndryl who can use company jets and cars for personal reasons. If he wants to go to the Bahamas for a weekend, he can do it and Kyndryl has to eat the... — read more
Deception x5
1st deception: After accepting a job offer from IBM in 2019, I was informed one week before my start date that I was actually “LTS” (long term supplemental) status (i.e a 3 year contractor) and not FTE status (which was negotiated during the hiring... — read more
No big signings. Should Martin and Elly be fired?
No big signings in years. Still a lot of fat in senior management, and bean counters focusing on eliminating standby allowances. 1000s of alliances with nothing to show for. Should Martin and Elly be fired and replaced? I hear a few major clients... — read more
