While seemingly unfair for you, the lawyers and the big incentives they get do provide a valuable societal check on company behavior. For example, I imagine your typical executive at a big company looks at the list of salaries of their employees over 45 and thinks to themselves, hey, why don't we just fire these people and replace them with young people? Then, they think about the aforementioned lawyers and subsequent class action lawsuits, and then decide not to. Sometimes. After this upcoming class action, you can bet the next WD exec is going to think twice before screwing over their customers.
