I can't help but think that Apple's going to get rid of a lot of immature employees through this.

I get that this is supposed to be derisive, but to provide a serious response to your comment: is that a good thing? Apple didn't get their start and keep their position by maintaining the status quo - kind of the opposite. Are the "mature" employees going to keep doing that?

Apple, like most companies, has to deal with a subset of a generation whose eccentric demands and expectations have nothing to do with creativity or talent and everything with an exaggerated appraisal of their self-worth. Brooming them will generally improve team performance and morale and free up vast amounts of management time.
