IBMs a bit weird. They fired a shitload of them a while back.
Then they said they're only replacing junior roles.
Then I think they're hiring a lot more juniors because they need to build the next seniors.
I didn't really follow too closely but that last statement is at least something I can respect.
[edit] I think mushroommunk is absolutely on point [/edit]
It's not really something you should respect. It's PR shell games. They fired senior staff to replace them with cheaper juniors. Not because they actually think they're training the future but because they think they can get the same work out of them+AI
