Former IBM employee, 57, accuses company of firing her due to age discrimination
A former IBM employee is suing the IT company, alleging she was fired because of age discrimination.
Terry Keebaugh, 57, was fired from her role as sales director in September 2016 as part of 'restructuring', one month shy of receiving $573,000 in commissions for deals that would close at year-end.
According to a complaint filed with the United States District Court Southern District of New York on December 21, she received just $20,000 and was replaced by a younger employee who generated less revenue.
'IBM's age discrimination is longstanding and pervasive,' the complaint states.
'Since 2012, IBM has implemented age-based reorganizations twice a year, sending loyal IBMers over age 50 to the chopping block while sparing younger employees.'
Keebaugh, from Alpharetta, Georgia, began working at IBM (International Business Machines) in 1984 just months after graduating from Georgetown University and Catholic University, according to the complaint.
For the first 10 years of her tenure, she was employed in the Maryland and Washington DC offices.
She worked her way up from marketing representative to her final title of Travel and Transportation Client Director.
The complaint states that Keebaugh taught herself and mastered 'the skills necessary to successfully service the accounts IBM assigned her'.
Among her clients were AT and T, BellSouth, Cingular, MCI, Travelport and Verizon.
According to the complaint, there were no signs that Keebaugh was performing poorly or worse than her younger colleagues.
Allegedly, during her final year-end performance review in 2015, she received a PBC 1, which is the highest rating possible within IBM.
She was even assigned to work on IBM's Millennial Task Force initiative to hire younger workers in fall 2015.
'The aim of this initiative is to, over a period of approximately four years, transform IBM's workforce to be at least 75% millennials, i.e., employees in their 20s and 30s,' the complaint writes.
'Naturally, as part of this initiative, IBM has and will continue to fire droves of older workers who exceed IBM's discriminatory age limit.'
A ProPublica investigation found that between 2013 and 2018, IBM fired 20,000 US employees above age 40.
That amounted to 60 percent of its total job cuts in the US over that period.
Keebaugh said she noticed that IBM was firing its older workers before they could train the younger employees in the tech company's mainframes.
She suggested that the older employees put their best practices into a database so that the new employees could easily be trained.
This led to a 'cognitive solution' patent application and an achievement award from IBM on August 30, 2016, for her application.
The very next day, on September 1, 2016, her boss sent her a letter stating she was being fired as part of a 'Skills Transformation Plan' and that her last day would be November 30.
In a call with her boss, Keebaugh says she was told that she had been rated 'lowest of the low' compared to other employees in an assessment of skills.
However, the complaint states that in 2015 she had doubled revenues for one client and that she had contracts in December 2016 that were expected to close worth a combined $100 million.
Keebaugh claims she was replaced by a new, younger employee who was not able to produce as much revenue.
Luckily, just a month after her last day, she was offered a job as Business Development Executive at Tata Consultancy Services.
Her lawsuit claims IBM is guilty of age discrimination under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, of age discrimination under state law and of wage reduction under labor law.
IBM sent DailyMail.com a statement which reads: 'Changes in our workforce are about skills, not age. In fact, since 2010 there is no difference in the age of our US workforce, but the skills profile of our employees has changed dramatically.
'That is why we invest heavily in employee skills and retraining - to make all of us successful in this new era of technology. In this specific case, the EEOC has examined her case and declined to act on her claims.'
16 U.S. Postal Service workers in Metro Atlanta arrested, charged with bribery after drug sting
Sixteen U.S. Postal Service workers in Metro Atlanta have been charged with accepting bribes to deliver cocaine in a drug trafficking operation, according to the Dept. of Justice.
The workers were charged in three separate federal indictments after it was discovered in a sting operation that the letter carriers were allegedly taking bribes to deliver packages of kilogram-quantities of cocaine.
The indictments state the USPS employees allegedly accepted the bribes from a person they believed was a drug trafficker using the U.S. mail to ship cocaine, multiple kilograms at a time, into the Atlanta area. In exchange for the bribe payments, the letter carriers allegedly provided special addresses that the drug trafficker could use to ship the cocaine.
The letter carriers then intercepted the packages and delivered them to the trafficker. However, the drug trafficker was working with law enforcement and the packages they delivered contained fake drugs.
Some of the postal employees went on to recruit additional USPS employees to join the criminal scheme and accepted additional money for drug packages delivered by recruits.
The USPS employees are as follows:
Cydra Rochelle Alexander, 31, of Riverdale, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the Ralph McGill Carrier Annex and Central City Branch of the Atlanta Post Office.Aurthamis O. Burch, a/k/a Tank, 46, of Snellville, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the Doraville Post Office.Kawana Rashun Champion, 35, of Jonesboro, Georgia, a clerk assigned to the North Springs Branch of the Sandy Springs Post Office and Central City Branch of the Atlanta Post Office.Eleanor Lolita Golden, a/k/a Eleanor Johnson, 54, of East Point, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the West End Branch of the Atlanta Post Office.Tonie Harris, 54, of Decatur, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the Sandy Springs Post Office.Leea Janel Holt, 38, of Atlanta, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the Old National Branch of the Riverdale Post Office.Clifton Curtis Lee, a/k/a Cliff, 41, of Lithonia, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the Sandy Springs Post Office.Shakeed Anilah Magee, 40, of College Park, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the West End Branch of the Atlanta Post Office.Horace Manson, 40, of Roswell, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the West End Branch of the Atlanta Post Office.Olivia Marita Moore, 25, of Atlanta, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the Old National Branch of the Riverdale Post Office.Eddie Nash, 63, of Decatur, Georgia, a letter carrier assigned to the West End Branch of the Atlanta Post Office.Jeffrey A.

Police chase shootout, Georgia
Police chase shootout, Georgia
*******************************************
Brunswick, Georgia, United States, June 18, 2010 - At high noon on June 18, 2010, Caroline Small, a petite 35-year-old woman and mother of two, sat behind the wheel of her beat-up Buick Century with nowhere to turn. Police vehicles flanked her on two sides, a shallow ditch was on another and a utility pole blocked her rear bumper.
Unarmed but distraught, Small’s crime to that point had been reckless driving and leading police on an erratic low-speed chase that ended when her car, tires flattened to the rims, spun out on a suburban street. Sirens blared and officers shouted as she put the car into reverse, then drive, then reverse. Two officers stood ground near their cars, guns drawn.
“If she moves the car, I’m going to shoot her,” an officer yelled. Small pulled forward. Eight bullets tore through the windshield, striking her in the head and the face. The shooting was captured on police dash cam video.
So was what the two Glynn County officers said afterward. They compared their marksmanship. One told a witness how he saw Small’s head explode.
Their words were as callous as Small’s death unnecessary.
“This is the worst one I’ve ever investigated,” said Mike McDaniel, a retired GBI agent who supervised the 2010 criminal investigation into the officers’ actions. “I don’t think it’s a good shoot. I don’t think it’s justified.”
Small’s death has also haunted Byron Bennett, who as a member of the grand jury that considered the officers’ fate voted to clear them of wrongdoing. Bennett now regrets that choice.
“I felt like I let that lady down,” he said. “I felt like they killed that lady. They didn’t give her a chance.”
The grand jury Bennett served on found the two Glynn County officers who fired the shots — Sgt. Robert C. Sasser and Officer Michael T. Simpson — were justified in pulling the trigger. A federal judge last September threw out the Small family’s wrongful death lawsuit saying the two officers killed lawfully because they thought Small posed a threat. Neither officer was ever disciplined.
What happened in Small’s case demonstrates the broad powers police in Georgia have to shoot and kill unarmed citizens and to influence the outcome of their cases in the legal process. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution/Channel 2 Action News investigation of the case found that:
- Glynn County police officers interfered with the GBI’s investigation from the start, seeking to protect the officers.
- The department tampered with the crime scene and created misleading evidence that was shown to the grand jury.
- The local district attorney shared the state’s evidence with the officers nearly two months before the grand jury convened and cut an unusual deal with them just before it met.
The officers’ defense was simple: they believed Small was using her car as a weapon and intended to run them over. They feared for their lives and the public’s safety. The argument rested on the implausible notion that Small, resting on her rims, had enough room to drive through a narrow gap and run them down.
Five years later, Sasser and Simpson are both certified officers in Georgia with their police powers intact. Neither would be interviewed for this story. The case is one of at least 150 fatal police shootings in Georgia since 2010 identified by an AJC/Channel 2 investigation.
Small, who died a week after the shooting, never regained consciousness to tell her side of what happened. She had struggled for years with drug and alcohol addiction as well as mental health problems.
Her divorce had finalized just days before the shooting. Her ex-husband, Keith Small, said he loved his wife and remembers her as a caring mother to their daughter, Analiese, who was 3 when her mother was killed, and an older daughter from a previous relationship.
His wife had relapsed in the months leading up to the shooting and been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Dissociative Disorder. He believes her mental health issues played into her actions the day of the chase. She needed help from police, he said, not to be shot. Justice, he said, was not served.
Small has never spoken about the case before, but he is speaking out now, in part, to help clear his wife’s name. After the shooting, he said, the public discussion about her drifted to her troubled history with addiction and distracted from the officers’ actions.
“She wasn’t just a junkie,” Small said. “She was a mom. She was a college student. She loved painting. She loved to read….I do want more people to understand that she wasn’t just some horrible person running away from the police, because that’s not who she was at all.”

Donovan Mitchell and Thon Maker Showout In 2015 HS All American Game!!
Long Beach, Calif. – It looked like the 5th Annual Ballislife All-American Game presented by U.S. Army was going to be one of those old-fashioned all-star games where one team doesn’t get back in transition and gets blown out.
It happened to Team Future, as Team Elite jumped out to a quick double-digit lead and grew its lead to as big as 26 points, 49-23, in the first half. In the second half, however, Team Future made a spirited comeback and eventually took the lead at 108-107 on a layup by Dwayne Bacon of Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) with 1:03 remaining in the game. It actually took a 3-point lead, but Team Elite executed better down the stretch to pull out a 113-110 victory before a near capacity crowd and a live broadcast on CBS Sports Network at Long Beach (Calif.) City College.
The clinching points came on a dunk by Thon Maker of Orangeville Prep (Mono, Ontario, Can.) off a pretty dish by Donovan Mitchell of Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, N.H.). Team Future had the ball one final time with a chance to tie with 9.7 seconds remaining. Isaiah Briscoe of Roselle Catholic (Roselle, N.J.) fired a 3-pointer that was just long. The rebound caromed long and the ball ended up in the hands of Oregon-State bound Stevie Thompson Jr. of Bishop Montgomery (Torrance, Calif.), whose 3-pointer was short as the buzzer sounded.
“I just want to keep my eyes open and I enjoyed this opportunity to play,” said Maker, who was named Team Elite MVP with 17 points (8-of-10 shooting), six rebounds and three blocked shots. “I want to be myself and play the right way. Getting the win was also important.”
Also leading the winning team was Malik Beasley of St. Francis (Alpharetta, Ga.). The Florida St.-bound shooting guard finished with a game-high 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting.
Helping Team Future get back in the game from its 63-47 halftime deficit was Bacon — another Leonard Hamilton recruit headed to Florida State. Bacon finished with 20 points, including 15 after intermission. Briscoe also had 20 points for Team Future.
The game’s most consistent player was Team Future’s Skal Labissierre of Reach Your Dreams (Memphis, Tenn.). The 6-foot-11 Kentucky-bound forward had 16 points (eight in each half) and controlled the boards. He finished with 16 rebounds, with eight in the first half and eight in the second.
“We had to get out of the all-star game mentality after halftime,” Labissierre said. “It was a fun experience and a good way to go out.”

Police chase shootout in Dearborn | May 9, 2018
*** New compilations only on PATREON: ***
Police chase shootout in Dearborn, Michigan, United States, May 9, 2018 - The incident began around 8:20 p.m. at a house in the 3600 block of Karen Street in Melvindale when the 27-year-old suspect showed up at his former girlfriend’s residence, Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad said. Her current boyfriend intervened in their dispute and an altercation occurred.
“They had difficulty in the past, one was a current boyfriend and the other was the former boyfriend, Haddad said. “The decedent was armed with an AR-15 and a handgun. It was also discovered this morning there was a third gun tucked in the car.”
Haddad said the suspect, whom he identified as Allen Park resident Ruben Salinas, engaged in a police chase with the boyfriend through Melvindale to Dearborn, firing dozens of shots in the process.
At this point, an officer saw Salinas pursuing the boyfriend, a 30-year-old Grosse Pointe Woods resident, and followed. Once they arrived at Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn, officers tried to end the police chase by ramming the police vehicle into Salinas’ car, Haddad said.
After three hits to the back of his vehicle, Salinas took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Haddad said.
“Upon stopping him, the decedent took his life inside his vehicle near the north driveway of the emergency entrance,” Haddad said. “The hospital was locked down as a precaution. There was never any threat to anyone in the hospital and I want to quickly dismiss any active shooter scenario that was reported early on.”
The boyfriend was treated for minor injuries and released and the girlfriend was unharmed. Police said Salinas was a registered CPL holder and the weapons were properly registered. He had no prior altercations with police nor a history of mental illness noted, they said.
Melvindale police did not comment on the incident and said the investigation is ongoing and will be a collaborative effort with Dearborn Police and Michigan State Police.
It was originally reported the hospital was on lockdown because of a nearby armed robbery on Michigan Avenue and Outer Drive.
Police said the miscommunication was due to the busy night the department was having. Haddad said there were 96 calls for service, 68 citations and four other arrests Wednesday night leading into Thursday morning.
