Comment on IBM says 'several thousand' layoffs on the wayparent

Comments

Trying to wrap my mind around the number -- 6 employees per 100,000 people worldwide is equal or higher than the number of physicians per 100,000 in Benin, Ethiopia, Niger, Burkina Faso, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Malawi, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Tanzania, Togo and Zimbabwe.

Very surprising given how easy it is to become a doctor, relative to getting hired by IBM. Combined with how appealing it is to live in those places, I too share your mind-wrapping-around-difficulty.
