On August 26th, Interface News exclusively learned that Jack Hergenrother, Vice President of IBM Global Enterprise Systems Development, announced at the IBM China Systems Center (CSL) staff meeting this morning that IBM Infrastructure has decided to transfer the research and development work of the China System Laboratory to other IBM infrastructure bases overseas, and is currently withdrawing all research and development work in China. Jack Hergenrother stated that in recent years, China's infrastructure business has declined. IBM has therefore made a difficult decision to relocate its business to other countries closer to its customers based on market opportunities. According to an IBM China System Center employee, the head of IBM China System Center is currently in communication with IBM headquarters management regarding layoffs and compensation matters. IBM China System Center employees have made some demands for layoffs and compensation, including 2N compensation (N and monthly salary benchmark are not capped), a 6-month buffer period, discounted annual leave, unused paid family leave, stock discount, etc.
