What time or decade did companies and businesses stop desiring lifetime workers?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) February 6th, 2015

At one time US businesses wanted, and even encouraged, loyalty and lifetime workers that would stay until retirement to get their gold watch, and retirement. Nowadays companies seem to want to find ways to get rid of you as you get too old or close to retirement. When that shift change, or has it really changed that much, or just in select industries?
