Fuck IBM. I remember when I was graduating from college and they were at an open job fair. They wouldn't even take my resume as they told me they were only interested in female and minority graduates. This was over 20 years ago

This has been going on for 30 years. My uncle was let go when he turned 50, in 1995.

I also have an older cousin (old enough to be my Uncle, too) who worked there and he told me the same thing. They are classic for trying to screw people out of retirement. Have a good lawyer if you get work at these public IT firms.

My spouse has applied multiple times to no avail.

We do have a damn good lawyer.

Apple is doing the same exact thing. A couple of my friends who were exec's got "laid off" and replaced by younger dudes. They were there for something like 20 and 26 years with great records, but somehow they got nixed, while other stayed.
