A good friend of mine made the mistake of working for IBM. Laid off at 48yrs old after putting over 20yrs in with the company. He said the same thing. As he was working his way up in seniority, he saw older folks getting laid off because of their age, not their abilities. On more than one occasion he was pissed off that they would lay off a key employee on projects he was working on, creating a larger work load for others and wasting time training clueless noobs fresh out of college, thus slowing the whole project down. Didn't really sink in until it was his turn. After laying him off, managers were calling him asking him for information on a few projects. Diplomatically, told them all to fuck off.
This is why you don't allow your nations to be flooded with millions of people from destitute countries where your salary = wealthy. They will work for wealthy x .5.
