IBM layoff history
PinkSlip has recorded 2 confirmed layoff events at IBM, running from January 2023 to August 2024. Together they account for roughly 4,900 disclosed roles, or about 1.8% of an estimated 270,000-person workforce. Scoring uses that share rather than the raw number, because the same headcount means very different things at a 10,000-person company and a 200,000-person one. Source: layoffs.fyi. Recent events weigh more than older ones — each decays on a half-life instead of dropping out on a fixed date — so the most recent filing on August 26, 2024 carries the most weight in today's score.
How IBM compares to other tech employers
IBM (IBM) is an Enterprise IT company tracked as part of the NASDAQ-100 and currently scores 32 out of 100, where 0 is the safest reading and 100 the riskiest. That is riskier than 59% of the 68 tech employers PinkSlip tracks. Over the past week the score climbed 2 points, and over the past month it climbed 1 point.
What is driving the IBM score
IBM's current reading is supported from two independent directions: confirmed public filings, and 1 anonymous report submitted by people in the past 30 days. Agreement between a public record and first-hand accounts is the strongest configuration the model recognises. Absence of reports is deliberately not treated as evidence of safety — a quiet company and an unobserved one look identical in public data, so the model never discounts risk for silence alone. At this level the signals do not suggest imminent action, though the score is recomputed every morning and a single filing or earnings miss can move it quickly.
IBM layoff risk — frequently asked questions
Has IBM had layoffs recently?
PinkSlip has tracked 2 layoff events at IBM in the past year, the latest on August 26, 2024, totalling roughly 4,900 disclosed roles. Undisclosed headcounts are excluded from that total, so treat it as a floor rather than a full count.
How is the IBM layoff risk score calculated?
PinkSlip blends 10+ public data sources — historical layoff events, quarterly earnings, hiring and news signals, and anonymous crowd reports — into a single 0–100 layoff risk score. Signals are weighted by how predictive they have been historically, and each one decays on a half-life as it ages rather than expiring on a fixed date — so a layoff announced last month weighs roughly twice as much as the same layoff two months earlier, and fades out gradually instead of disappearing overnight.
How often does the IBM risk score update?
Every day. An automated job re-scrapes the public sources each morning and recomputes every tracked company's score, so the 7-day movement shown above always compares against freshly ingested data. Quarterly earnings refresh on each company's own reporting schedule.
Where does PinkSlip's IBM layoff data come from?
The layoff events listed above are sourced from layoffs.fyi. Across all companies PinkSlip aggregates state WARN notices, layoffs.fyi, quarterly earnings filings, and layoff coverage from major business and tech outlets. Everything is public data — no employer submissions, and no paywalled sources.
