IBM Hit with $1.5M Discrimination Verdict Despite Sham Investigation:
A federal jury in Connecticut awarded $1,499,891 to a 61-year-old manager after IBM terminated him with the knowledge that it was discriminating against him on the basis of his age. In a key decision, the judge excluded a company HR report that whitewashed IBM’s actions.
