Although IBM employees are now able to accept a severance agreement and
maintain their ability to bring an age- discrimination claim in

older employees to decide whether it’s worth taking on the cost of a
legal battle.
For at least a decade, International Business Machines Corp.

detailing a severance package that asked them to waive
age-discrimination claims and also included a page listing the job
titles and ages of workers being let go.
