Not sure what to think about this. In a "pure" system we should not have age based law. However, ordering her to "lie" is the crime.

correction: Ordering her to falsify information to the Department of Labor is one crime.
Obeying that order is another crime.
She may or may not have proof of her supervisor's crime, but the Department of Labor has proof of her crime. I have little sympathy for her treacherous lying ass.

Fascinating. Some of the smartest people I know also used to work for IBM. Most large companies have a mix of both smart and dumb people.
Thing of it is, the folks I know no longer work for IBM. Some were laid off and replaced by pajits. Others were laid off when IBM sold the ThinkPad line to those janky-ass, cheapskate chinks at Lenovo. They used to make those things in Poughkeepsie, New York. Now they're made by robots in Shenzhen.

I wouldn't know about the internal culture of the large companies. I'm a contractor and shoe horned into doing exactly what my contract states (I'd be breaking the contract if I worked extra hours, for example). I see my client downsizing their actual employees and hiring on contractors (even rehiring downsized employees as contractors) to avoid the extra charges that having us on the payroll would entail (like having to pay health insurance).
Most of what looks like laziness from my point of view comes from the contractors who work by the book. Sometimes this causes excessive downtime and web surfing (like me) which can lead into being slow as shit (like me). But, the clients themselves have a list of other things getting in the way, like a fucked up tech catalog, or reorganization, or them early retiring the only person that actually knew how anything worked.
Quite honestly, I'm not pointing at the jew when it comes to the tech issue (more pajeets and the clintons). But, when you have a full team operating under budget (as was stated in that article) then fire the skilled workers; HR (jews) is purposefully sabotaging the company.

IBM HR made me lie to US govt, says axed VP in age-discrim legal row: I was ordered to cover up layoffs of older workers • The Register
'And she says she was fired after pointing out that the aging biz was breaking age discrimination laws by primarily firing post-50 staff. '
'Liss-Riordan said that the process is called "conditional certification," a preliminary step in age discrimination and federal wage cases. '
'Asked whether she intends to argue that IBM directed Rodgers to lie to the government and whether she believes the claims could lead to a criminal complaint against the company, Liss-Riordan declined to comment. '
'A former senior executive at IBM has claimed she was ordered to lie to the US government about just how many older workers Big Blue was laying off. '
'She claims her superiors directed her to hide information about staff leaving from the US Department of Labor. '
