I'd have to disagree. O'Reilly backed me into a corner and basically made me leave. Then, the next oldest, and next, until all they have there now are 20 somethings that know nothing. The store manager is not quite my age and thinks the hot air pipe coming off the exhaust manifold going to the air cleaner is a turbo. That's no exaggeration. They're also doing the same to all the rest of the stores in the district.

I certain will not dispute it doesn't happen and that it does indeed continues to happen. That sucks what happened to you and don't agree with it.
I've seen it with the company I work at, there was a guy who was a very senior employee (senior by years with the company) and heading to retirement. He set his date and said I want to be here one more year and they pushed him out. They push out the HR person too who objected to it happening. Senior employees who are up in pay scale get let go because of the the pay scale they are at. If they can replace the $90k a year guy with 6 weeks paid vacation with a $40k guy with 2 weeks paid vacation that's more than $50K profit. I've heard of this across the corporate world. They don't care if they replaced the individual with someone competent either. Its all about the money. Enter the Great Resignation, "here is your 1% pay raise and you should be happy to get it" when inflation and cost of living was more than that.
