An IBM age discrimination lawsuit filed in Texas last year has become a bit less opaque after
The Register found an inadequately redacted court document that discusses plans to present evidence obtained from company emails and documents.
The case involves 16 former Big Blue employees who claim IBM’s highest executives created and attempted to conceal a multi-faceted fire-and-hire scheme with the ultimate goal of making IBM’s workforce younger.
Since the publication of a 2018 report by ProPublica and Mother Jones alleging systematic efforts within IBM to get rid of older employees and findings to that effect by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), there have been multiple lawsuits against IBM claiming that the IT titan engaged in a pattern of discriminatory behavior.
