My friend who survived the layoffs indicated that this was due to in large part changes in the political/regulatory landscape that made it so the companies they were working with would no longer require the features that IBM was providing.

That sounds suspect to me. The company I work for gives 90 days + 1 month for every 1 month over a year you work there (so work there 2 years and you have 1 year, 90 days to exercise after leaving).

Is this arrangement just a loophole?
