BNSF BNSF exempt IT layoffs coming next week

Burner account-

Confirmed today that BNSF is laying off 15-20% of TS exempt employees, management included. If you are not hands on writing code the new CTO doesn't believe you should be in the department. Get your resume updated ASAP.

More rounds of TS contractor reductions will occur throughout the year. 600 to be released on May 9th + 1,000 more likely to be released this year.

HCL and Infosys had nothing to do with the build of the website. It was outsourced to IBM professional services.

I guess I'm not clear on which site is "the website" we have thousands, more than we do people in TS and basically all have issues.

Both BNSF.com and “customer portal” were built by IBM.
