IBM co-location program described as worker attrition plan
Briefly

IBM's new co-location program aims to reduce expenses and enhance team cohesion by moving employees back to the office and consolidating teams based on function. Current and former employees suggest that the initiative is a strategic move to phase out older workers, following in the footsteps of previous programs from 2016. The company's recent return-to-office mandates require significant relocation or resignation from many employees, focusing on occasional in-office collaboration despite the structure of the workforce undergoing serious changes post-pandemic.
IBM is implementing a 'co-location' program, aiming to return workers to corporate offices and bring teams with common functions closer together.
In 2024, IBM mandated all US managers back into the office. This was the start of co-location, which will eventually affect all US employees.
