Gen Z jobs aren’t dead yet: $240 billion tech giant IBM says it’s rewriting entry-level jobs—and tripling down on its hiring of young talent.
They laid off 9000 people in the US a few months ago
2025: IBM lays off 16-20k tenured employees.
Early 2026: “IBM emerges as a global leader (in asshole-tier cost savings), championing early career development by tripling their number of hired entry-level employees.”
Fuck you, IBM.
Ultately, it was aplan to fire expensive old timers and hire Gen Z replacements at 1/3rd the sallary.
I was just coming to share this. Their feel-good recruitment number is a small drop in the bucket for how much layoffs there have been in the past two years.
A whopping 3% of their workforce.
Hey, and they can get new grads much cheaper than the 3% they fired! Win win!
