Companies think about the bottom line. They can pay Mr. Middle Aged Experienced $40,000 to do his job because he's been here for 10 year, or they can "cycle" him out and hire Joe Schmoe for only $30,000. Keeping old employees means less money for the CEO, of course.

The company I used to work for called it "scaling" and disposed of most of the senior employees through false terminations, forced retirements, and down right ****ty tactics to make them loose hope and just quit.
Then they were replaced by fresh out of school teenage blond girls who giggled more than they talked, and were very happy to be doing highly dangerous work for minimum wage. [/RANT]
I remember when you could get a large Pizza with everything for $12.99.
