Sloppy "Resource Action," (RA) or IBM Layoff, Leads to Another IBM Lawsuit, Alleging IBM Tries to Pass Liability to Algorithms
Layoffs are still happening at IBM, some disguised as PIPs.
IBM is meanwhile resorting to slop to gaslight its remaining shareholders: (23 hours ago)
According to a new report, published 13 hours ago by Tez Romero: "A 24-year IBM veteran says the tech giant pushed him out at 48, then let an algorithm slam the door on his way back in. That, in essence, is the story Daniel Swanson tells in a lawsuit filed May 23, 2026 in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas (Swanson v. International Business Machines Corporation, No. 1:26-cv-01382). Swanson, a former Software Development Manager based in Austin, claims IBM terminated him on September 17, 2024 as part of what the company labeled a "Resource Action," and that the move was the latest chapter in a long-running effort to clear out older workers in favor of younger hires the company calls "Early Professional Hires," or EPHs.
It has long been alleged that computers or algorithms (nowadays the media frames them both as "AI" because it gets paid to do this) will be used to dodge accountability and later pass blame to things that cannot be legally held liable.
How much does IBM plan to enrage its workforce? █
