Well at least when I was there IBM managers where managing multiple teams across different cities.

They had the same made up issue years ago as well. I think I went to the office maybe once or twice a year, then all of a sudden, every Friday was "Think Friday" and we had to sit in a big room and hear some sales person talk nonsense about cloud, agile development and how soon field technicians would be ditching their clipboards for digital solutions (this was a good 20 years after every tech in IBM had stopped using paper fyi).

IBM just wants to get rid of more people and this is their plan.

Or as it was in the past, IBM is in the business of getting out of business, and that business is good.
