The people let go can form their own companies. I don't believe anyone has a guarantee to have a high paying white collar job until they choose to retire.
Five months severance is quite generous; during that time "their job is to get a job."
Even better, start a new company with the previous coworkers who are all versed in the same industry as you just left! Block is profitable, so there’s a lunch to eat.
