IBM plans to cut 200 jobs in Austria

IBM Austria plans to cut 200 jobs in January, an employee told the Austria Presse Agentur. According to an e-mail sent to employees, the cuts are due to operational restructuring. The company did not deny the information.

The number of employees at IBM in Austria decreased from 1,800 in 2010 to 740, while sales remained almost stable over this period at around EUR 400 million. A spokeswoman for the company said that decisions relating to headcount are made to support "the introduction of an open hybrid cloud platform and AI capability".  She preferred to stress that the group intends to invest in the business in Austria "again". The subsidiary in Austria will continue to make "significant investments" in training workers.
