The company has been in a bad shape for a while and it uses COVID-19 as an excuse to lay off tens of thousands of people that it's been wanting to do for decades. IBM failed it's employees and has lost trust indefinitely.

Shady leadership at the executives level that never takes up responsibility for anything that goes wrong and instead blames it on employees that do the actual work and do all the heavy lifting.
