Over 3,000 Toshiba group staff apply for early retirement program

Senior staffs are the costliest while at the same is the less productive, especially in Japan society where hierarchy really matter, so that's a right move. Hope other Japanese corporate follow that

Although called "early retirement" such programs are available to all employees, and not limited to senior staff. Through repeated interviews, management usually encourage low performers to take the package, although anyone is free to do so.

Great news ,these oldies can now work at the conbini

Why so much hate for older persons, which are the most experienced??

Not all of them are in top leading position, where is all this hate from posters coming from?

I like posts from foreigners here, working themselves who knows what kind of menial jobs, complaining about senior staff of Toshiba :) .
