What happened
A complaint was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on September 20, 2026, alleging that IBM terminated three employees aged 57, 58, and 59. The lawsuit claims the firings were a pretext for replacing the long-term staff with younger hires, despite the employees having no disciplinary warnings or negative reviews. The three workers had between 27 and 36 years of service at IBM.
