It's also a very different situation for a guy in his 50s/60s than a guy in his 20s/30s.

Nobody is going to hire you when you're in your so-called "golden years". No way. Especially when there are 30 younger guys willing to work the same job.

One of the most criminal aspects of the recent spate of layoffs is how it has been disproportionately targeted at near-retired, highly-experienced individuals at the peak of their earning power, simply because it allows a company to get the maximum $ cut off their payroll while minimizing the headcount reduction they have to report. Utterly soulless. You KNOW those guys will never see the kinds of incomes they lost ever again and their entire end-of-life plans are likely in turmoil as a result - even if they did have investments, retirement accounts and all the rest.
