Fred McNeese, porte-parole d'IBM en Europe « une nouvelle étape vers le changement de notre business model »: 1. délocalisations massives des activités de fabrication: sur les 12 000 emplois en usine que comptait la France au début des années 90, IBM n'en a plus que 500. 2. cessions des activités à faible valeur ajoutée (vente de la branche PC au chinois Lenovo, des disques durs à Hitachi, des imprimantes à Lexmark, des équipements de réseaux à Cisco). 3. Etendre à sa division de services le principe de «centralisation de l'approvisionnement»: justificatifs des notes de frais des 329 000 salariés d'IBM dans le monde centralisée à Manille, aux Philippines, pour l'Europe, toute demande d'un salarié sur ses cotisations retraite ou l'historique de sa carrière chez IBM passe par un service basé à Budapest, en Hongrie. Pour Michel Perraud, délégué CFDT d'IBM France, «Bientôt, il ne restera plus que les cadres dirigeants et les personnels en contact avec le client. Les ingénieurs ou les techniciens seront soit délocalisés, soit sous-traités.»:

Internal restructuring: Selon la direction, « l'ensemble du projet nécéssaire à l'adaptation d'IBM France à ses nouveaux enjeux entraînerait la suppression de 769 postes ». Selon la CFDT, « le plan prévoit que sur 106 personnes dont le détachement à IBM Europe va prendre fin, seuls 80 à 90 seraient reclassés », « Enfin, 40 salariés d'IBM France travaillant pour IBM Eurocoordination pourraient voir leur fonction partiellement, voire totalement disparaître, ce qui correspondrait à la suppression de 40 emplois ».: France

ILO violation 100 : A été condamné pour discrimination sexuelle à l'encontre d'une de ses employées, Florence Buscail. En 2003, le tribunal des prud'hommes de Montpellier contraignait IBM à la promouvoir cadre. IBM s'exécuta, mais sans augmenter le salaire de Florence Buscail. Aujourd'hui, IBM est condamné à payer 110 000 euros de réparation et à augmenter de 500 euros le salaire mensuel de son employée.: France
