In the few cases I know, the older employees have been getting excellent marks, great feedback and then suddenly hit layoffs. Sadly, it does make financial sense for the company. Just truly an evil handling of some of most accomplished and productive employees. I wish if I was able to change things, I would treat older people with more respect.

I'd say it's #agediscrimination at it's best. We've had this happen before. We'll see what happens now, as they have 2000 people to lay off - I wander how many white males over 50 will be laid off - they tend to make the most, and are always a good target for cost savings.
Don't get me wrong, I know that this issue is not happening here at Hershey's only - it's a thing that plagues all large corporations today.
