IBM begins shutdown of all operations in Russia
IBM is closing down the remainder of its business in Russia, putting all employees in the region out of work.
As the Russia/Ukraine war continues, so too do various unfortunate consequences from it as businesses pull out of operations in Russia or face issues for not supporting it. IBM had already begun to restrict sales and business operations in the country in response to the war, but after a few months, it looks like IBM is closing out business in Russia altogether, shutting down its operations there and laying off all employees in the region.
This news comes from an email sent out by IBM CEO Arvind Krishna. According to the letter which was made public on June 7, 2022, IBM is closing down the entirety of its IBM Russia branch. Despite ceasing sales and business in the country, IBM was continuing to pay employees in the nation. With this move, all IBM Russia employees (a workforce of around 1000) will be laid off.
"Our colleagues in Russia have, through no fault of their own, endured months of stress and uncertainty,” Krishna wrote. “We recognize that this news is difficult, and I want to assure them that IBM will continue to stand by them and take all reasonable steps to provide support and make their transition as orderly as possible.”
IBM’s move to close all Russian branches is the latest of many moves by various corporations to close business and operations in response to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft have all ceased sales of hardware and software in the country. Google has also faced issues as it attempted to stay open. With the Russian government seizing its bank account in the nation for non-compliance in various matters, Google’s Russian branch was forced to declare bankruptcy.
“We remain united in our hope for an end to this war and the restoration of peace,” Krishna wrote in the close of his email.
As the Russia/Ukraine conflict continues on, it remains to be seen just how much it will continue to affect business and the global economy. With IBM officially cashing out of the nation altogether, stay tuned for further updates here at Shacknews.

What follows is a short story that contains themes of cuckolding, male chastity, and humiliation. Don't read if you are not interested in those things https://cuckold.bar
"FUCK, Fuck, FUCK!" Bret yelled as he hung up the phone https://cuckoldporn.tv
The Plant account had pulled out. It was his last chance of meeting sales goals for the month. He knew what would happen at this point. His boss Damien put poor performers in "time out" at the end of the month. Rarely did anyone slip this far behind, but Bret had been off his game for a while now https://cuckoldporn.fun
Within the hour he was called into Damien's office. Bret couldn't believe the punishment he was about to endure. As he sat down across from Damien's desk he couldn't help but seethe with rage when he saw the sly, insolent, smile on his face.
"It's best we just get to it Bret," he said "take off your pants and your underwear."
From his desk drawer he pulled out a long case and opened the lid. Inside, was a line of male chastity cages. High-end, indestructible, black plastic ones. He knew just the one he needed. Every new hire under him had their cocks sized lest they needed punishment at a later date. Poor Bret sized to one of the smallest cages with his tiny four-inch hard, one and a half inch soft white boy cock.
