Kyndryl, the managed IT services provider that spun out of IBM, has announced layoffs that could affect its own internal IT services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are eliminating some roles globally \u2014 a small percentage \u2014 to become more efficient and competitive,\u201d said a Kyndryl spokesperson, without giving the exact number of employees affected due to the layoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions will enable us to focus our investments in areas that directly benefit our customers and position Kyndryl for profitable growth,\u201d the spokesperson said, adding that the company was in the process of undergoing transformation to streamline and simplify its processes and systems.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/a> first reported about the layoffs.<\/p>\n

The forums of job-losses monitoring website The Layoff.com<\/a> lit up with comments from anonymous users representing themselves as Kyndryl employees. They said that staff in IT asset management roles and in Kyndryl\u2019s own CIO organization were among those who were let go.  <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were told this morning of cuts in CIO in North America, and that we are not affected (Europe). Let’s see what happens,\u201d a user posted in one of the threads. Other threads hinted at entire teams being fired.<\/p>\n
