| IBM packs in an age discrimination defence You mean you want to see our executives’ emails? Biggish Blue has mysteriously packed in an age discrimination case after it was ordered to produce internal emails in which its former CEO and former SVP of human resources discuss reducing the number of older workers. The IT giant chose to settle the case for an undisclosed sum rather than proceed to trial next month and while there is no proof of this, one does wonder if it was something to do do with Exhibit 10, which "contains emails that discuss the effort taken by IBM to increase the number of 'millennial' employees." Plaintiff Eugene Schenfeld, who worked as an IBM research scientist when current CEO Arvind Krishna ran IBM's research group, sued IBM for age discrimination in November, 2018. His claim is one of many that followed a March 2018 report by ProPublica and Mother Jones about a concerted effort to get rid of more expensive and wrinkling IBM staffers and a 2020 finding by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that IBM executives had directed managers to get rid of older workers to make room for younger ones. https://fudzilla.com/news/55059-ibm-...nation-defence |
