8月23日也就是上周五，IBM中国区突然关闭了1000多名研发和测试岗位员工的内网访问权限；8月26日，IBM中国对媒体确认，IBM将彻底关闭中国研发部门，包括IBM中国开发中心（CDL）、IBM中国系统中心（CSL），均主要负责研发和测试。遥想当初蓝色巨人的意气风发，曾经的数据库人才的摇篮，不甚唏嘘！
下面是网传宣布裁员的会议讲话全文：
谢谢你，Jack。
谢谢你，Ross。
好的，就此我们结束这次通话。
谢谢。
英文原文
Thank you everyone for joining this town hall today.
My name is Jack Hergenrother and I'm the Vice President of Global Enterprise Systems Development.
We have an important management decision to share with you today.
To support our global clients and our business strategy, IBM infrastructure has decided to shift the development missions from the China Systems Lab to other IBM infrastructure locations overseas.
We are exiting all of the development mission in China.
As you all know, IBM infrastructure continues its transformation to help unlock the full value that our organization has to offer, and to help us achieve sustainable business in challenging global markets.
This transformation is influenced by market dynamics and fierce competition.
The infrastructure business in China has declined in recent years.
For IBM Z, we have made the difficult decision to shift our development to other countries based on market opportunities and to have operations closer to our clients.
In storage, we are consolidating our development work into fewer locations to respond to fierce competition.
Infrastructure's co-location strategy is global.
Co-location is not specific to China.
We have made this hard business decision to move certain development missions to gain efficiencies and streamline operations.
Please let me hand it over to Ross.
>> Thank you, Jack.
This is Ross Moury, General Manager of IBM Z and Linux One.
I would like to thank you all for your contributions to IBM and the important roles you have played in the success of this platform.
We hope to get your understanding and your cooperation going forward.
Thank you.
Over to Danny.
>> Thank you, Ross.
For those that don't know me, I'm Danny Mace, Vice President of Storage Engineering.
I know this is a difficult decision, but this is a necessary action to support our global clients and our business strategy.
I also wanna thank you for your contributions.
And now back to Jack.
>> Okay, with that, we will wrap up this call.
Next, I encourage each of you to have an individual discussion with your manager.
Thank you.
>> Thank you.
