In the beginning I was optimistic about the substantial cash payout. But soon you feel worthless, you cannot over estimate the role work plays in defining who we are. If it happens to you or you knwo someone who's be made redundancy (pretty common with the GFC) keep an eye on them, keep them busy, they will need structure. as an executive it may take years to find an equivalent job and pay. there may well be many interim gigs until you get to the right replacement job. Study, do charity work and invest time with your kids.
