IBM accused of pushing out older workers

IBM has been accused of pushing out older workers in a lawsuit. Details reveal that company executives use terms like “dinobabies” and “dated maternal workforce” in communications about an accelerated change program in a quest to hire millennials.

According to the plaintiff, the company founded in 1911 wants to be more appealing to the youth more like Amazon.com , Alphabet and even buttoned-down consultancy Accenture.

The allegations of discrimination were denied by the $117 billion company and countered that the average age of its U.S. workforce was 48 at the end of 2020, six years older than that of all American workers.
