Seems to me they are taking a page from the IBM playbook.
I suspect the people being paid a lot and/or over 40.  With
the Trump Administration, we know there will be more of
these firings because discrimination of all kinds is now
fully legal.  So, Companies can fire people all people over
a certain age or race without worrying about consequences.

And note that doing this was absolutely disastrous to IBM, as it
has been every time it's been tried in private industry.

A good friend of mine worked for a company where they fired all
of the higher-paid technical workers, including the guy who owned
the patents for their process.  That didn't go well.
