Do large corporations like Intel have the right to do massive layoffs to older employees in the name of innovation?

I think if a company would even consider this it's because they have created a brutal corporate culture and trained their own employees to act like button-pushing zombies.

I think this whole thing starts with cultural norms that assume a lot of stereotypes to be true. In all I think we lack the willingness to train people who are willing to buy in. Companies are loath to onboard junior developers for training purposes and they are loath to train existing employees to adopt new visions for the org.
