The one situation where I remember this happening specifically (when the BBC made footage archiving digital), they planned the automation rollout to coincide with retiring off the old analog librarians.
Then they hired them back out of retirement because the project went badly wrong.
The latter part went awry (although I think they didn't mind too much) but the timing kind of worked out.
In a more vicious corporation they probably wouldn't have been so bothered about the timing of the rollout.
