So I don't get it.

One side of corporate mouth: Old people are too expensive and they don't obey. We need to fire them so we can hire cheap, malleable, young people.

Other side of corporate mouth: Old people must work until they physically collapse and die at their station. There is therefore no room to hire additional workforce from the younger generation.
