40 years old is old now? It seems to me that the company was setup in a way to keep the upper management and the younger people pushing papers and making things work. But the middle management, advertisers, secretaries and design engineers (once their product is to a marketable state) would be 'disposable' if they didn't want to grow, but just make what they have, use the same marketing, and produce the same amount of products.
Now, if they were firing people 60 and older because they didn't want to pay retirement benefits or something, that is another story. Actually, the fact that people still have to work at 60 means they have been living an expensive lifestyle and should have been saving money. It does prevent the teens and twenty somethings from entering the workforce and gaining experience, responsibility & money.
