Perspectives On the Latest IBM Layoffs 135
An anonymous reader writes "After IBM reported disappointing Q1 earnings in March, to nobody's surprise, layoffs (RAs or 'Resource Actions' in IBM parlance) were announced two months later; June 12 seemed to be when most of the pink slips were handed out.

Dan Burger at IT Jungle has a more numbers-oriented take on the latest round of layoffs."
