There were a lot of extra people, many with 20, 30 or more years of service. We young go-getters would comment about the number of people on our floor who were 'retired at full pay'. All they had to do was show up for 7.5 hours each day, take a long lunch, push a few papers around, then go home. They all easily earned four times what I was making and got three times the paid vacation. Many a young go-getter saw this and it ruined their work ethic for decades.
I worked for an old school, tech industry megacorp company post college and it was the same experience. The older workers were basically retired on the job. Many had golden handcuffs, hadn't learned anything new in years and spent a big part of the day in the cafeteria.
