It should be common knowledge by now that those retiring now are most likely let go. I was looking at NK's departing message, and people were just commenting by congratulating for the new journey. It su-ks how stupid the overall professional network is where you are always positive and smiling and congratulating despite what is happening.
I believe these anonymous forums are much better where atleast people are not fake. Although there are some racist outsiders asking for funding their agenda at the expense of situation, or some desperate ones thinking that asking ETWs to be sacked here would save them. but overall people are honest and concerned. LinkedIn su-ks in this aspect.
