Thread regarding IBM layoffs

Taken from the comment section on the Register. Someone it seems with insider knowledge of the ageism

In this case, just like the Langley lawsuit in Texas, the IBM attys will be running up the stairs to the courthouse trying to settle. I hope Schenfeld doesnt so the whole world can see the true IBM. They don't want these documents out. The Lohnn v IBM got the most egregious content of these emails out: "dinobabies," "outdated maternal workforce.'

The irony is Rometty & Gherson are both, but they got to keep their jobs while shredding & destroying good people's lives. And Ginni's alleged remark when she heard the term "dinobabies," was "I love the energy." Insensitive & disgusting but not surprising. She has no soul. All she's done since she became CEO in 2013 until she left in 2020 was lay people off & line her own pockets (& the other C-suite execs named in the shareholders securities fraud lawsuit) through financial engineering: layoffs & cutting sales commissions at employees' expense.

Hopefully, the release of these documents will bolster the shareholders securities fraud lawsuit agst Rometty, et al & further Ginni's destruction. She's tarnished IBM forever. They need to put an end to her heinous 10-20K/day payouts for doing little to no work & stop the incessant denial that there is no systemic age discrimination when the EEOC's own investigation proved there was.

They’re quietly settling many more age discrimination cases than just that one case that got the headline for the very same reason…rather than release internal documents, as required in the discovery phase, they prefer to suppress their systemic age discrimination policy by writing a check.

Glad I’m on the receiving end of one of those quiet settlements. In other words, very glad I’m no longer part of that toxic culture.

from NYT:

Internal IBM emails are said to indicate that the IT dinosaur group wants more “millennials” and fewer older employees. The emails came to light amid age discrimination litigation in a US Federal District Court. In the e-mails, IBM executives would agitate against older employees with an aggressive choice of words. These are referred to as “Dino Babies” and the authors of the emails claim that they should become an “extinct species”. At the same time, IBM executives complain that IBM is not employing enough millennials.
In one of these internal IBM e-mails, older employees are targeted. There is talk of an “outdated maternal workforce”: “That has to change. They don’t really understand social (editor’s note: this means social media) or engagement (editor’s note: this means interactions in social networks). They are not digital natives. A real threat to us.”
