AI, Layoffs at IBM, and NDAs
According to some news reports, the company’s next round of layoffs may take place as soon as November 18, 2024 and will likely impact thousands of IBM employees. These reports also suggest that AI is in part behind some of IBM’s layoffs, as the company plans to replace thousands of “non-customer-facing back-office” roles.
In circumstances where companies lay off employees, it is not uncommon for loyal, skilled, and highly performing employees who have dedicated their careers to a company to be persuaded to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to keep the details of their layoff from becoming public.
