Rumored Layoffs at IBM Rochester Not True
September 17, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan
For the past couple of weeks, people have been asking me if there have been layoffs inside of IBM‘s Rochester, Minnesota, facility, where the System i and System p Power-based servers are manufactured for the North American market. These rumors are not true, according to sources at the company. In the early part of the summer, I heard second-hand from an ex-IBMer who went on a tour of the facility while wheeling around the country on vacation, and what I was told is that there was not a lot of activity on the factory floor, which looked empty.
