IT giant IBM Corp reportedly laid off about 3,900 employees on Wednesday, with officials saying the staff cuts were part of some asset divestments.
The layoffs are reportedly a result of the company not meeting its annual cash targets and revenue expectations for the fourth quarter.
Speaking to Reuters, the company’s chief financial officer James Kavanaugh said the company is still committed to hiring for client-facing research and development.
