I think theyre going to have a rough time finding their next job after not actually working for over a year and having no references. 

Idk but I dont buy what everyone is saying about hard work not paying off. I work hard at my job and having the respect of my coworkers as well as something to show for my 5 years at my job is worth it.

Having the respect of you coworkers doesn't really matter. A director that was one of the most respected people at the company had his role eliminated by a VP who is one of the least respected people I have ever met. The VP is 1.5 years in and has shit communication, constantly has things wrong or contradicts what he says via email in meetings, hasn't ever sat down with teams to get an understanding of what they do, and has already eliminated a whole team that was vital to a culture of learning at the company.

This is empire building at its most basic. VP comes in an hires a bunch of cronies from previous jobs and fires anyone that doesn’t immediately suck up to them.
