    Yes they have. They cost more. Why keep the senior curmudgeon employee around when the Jr who costs half as much is deemed sufficiently competent? And the Jr isn't going to quit in solidarity either, they're just happy to have not gotten cut.

        Competency doesn't matter for corporations.

        Competency isn't the layoff criterion, cost is
