Cutting ‘Old Heads’ at IBM
On one hand, while harsh, laying off older workers (even the ones who <i>have</i> kept up to date on technology) makes good economic sense.  On the other hand, not all global companies are limited by the type of worker&#x27;s rights legislation noted in the article.<p>While this survival of the fittest, hyper-capitalism approach will optimize return on investment and technological innovation, I suspect it is also ~destroying the careers of many high achievers who would likely have outperformed in other fields without having their careers derailed.<p>Does anyone see a way to reconcile this?
