Employees believe directive to seek new internal positions is just a way to get rid of them
has seen chat messages from another IBM employee with more than four decades of experience at the company who last year sought advice based on the belief that this person's redeployment represented age discrimination.The individual who wrote those messages spoke toon the phone and explained that last year this person had been given two-and-half months to find another IBM job. Eight months on, this person is still with IBM, without responsibilities, waiting for the company to take action.
"I told my manager that I would not go voluntarily," this person said, noting that exemplary reviews over the years have left the company with no plausible reason for a termination. Resource actions, this person explained, are a big deal because they're public and expensive."Executives do not want to do that," this person said."They want it undercover. … What the execs told me is if there's a chance to get rid of people, they have to call it a redeployment."
They expressed certainty that age discrimination played a role in the elimination of their position but also described being disinclined presently to pursue the matter in court."If they gave me three months severance, I'd probably take it," the person said. At the same time, the source expressed frustration that IBM hasn't simply gone with a layoff."What could be crueler than eight months of isolation?" the IBM employee told us.In online forums discussing IBM, there's some push back against the assumption that redeployments are exclusively a way to reduce headcount. Some suggest that finding a new position often depends upon the support of someone higher up in the organization.
