Arvind Krishna has a message for the 2,60,000 employees of International Business Machines Corp.: Remote work can be hazardous to your career. Working from home is most common in the technology and professional services sectors that IBM competes in, the data also show. “In the short term you probably can be equally productive, but your career does suffer,” he said. The company announced job cuts earlier this year, which may amount to about 5,000 workers once completed. Still, Krishna said IBM has added to its workforce overall, bringing on about 7,000 people in the first quarter.
