IBM allegedly targeted older American workers with layoffs, firings and forced retirement to systematically replace them with younger, cheaper millennials and overseas workers, according to a new report.
In the past five years, the investigation found more than 20,000 IBM workers — about 60 percent of its estimated total U.S. job cuts in that period — were over the age of 40. IBM, which still employs 400,000 people worldwide, flouted domestic laws and regulations protecting older workers from age discrimination by not providing information on why they were fired, required them to sign away the right to sue IBM and converted job cuts into retirements to avoid public disclosure requirements, alleged the report published Thursday by ProPublica and Mother Jones.
