Why were they fired?
Was it because of there tenured nature?
Was it there faithfulness and good ethics?
What did the 25 years of loyalty amount to?
Did their resume have an "invented skill(s)"?
Were they lacking in product knowledge, aptitude of learning or willingness to train or be trained?
No to all of the above---they were terminated becasue the company needed to "tighten it's belt."
If one of the above has happened to you- get a Plan B. A plan B guarantees you an Option when there seems no other way. Plan B is YOUR life alert prior, during and after termination.

Can You Fight them?
Have they denied your unemployment? Is your state employment-at-will AND you feel the termination/downsizing a big mistake or violation of your rights? Fight them on paper?
The time has come for some education on YOUR EMPLOYMENT rights. Its easy for an at-will state to terminate an employee without cause, as it is an employee to leave without cause or reproach in said state. However, if after years of employment this has suddenly occured, or the management has changed as did the "love/esteem" for you and requests made not in your current, past or potential job description the underlying reason may be grounds for legal action.
Some tricks of the trade are: document sudden changes in the environment, management or culture; always have an updated resume/cover letter handy; be cognizant of what is occurring in your selected industry. Merges and acquisition occur daily, be aware of them. In some cases persons only begin to engage in the "goings on" after its too late-- but the signs were around them daily.
Lastly, this HR corner would strongly advise all to develop a plan B---work on it, and nurture it.
When your rights are violated--you can fight to have them restored, acknowledged and in some cases retribution.
Some of my favorites sites are below...please be mindful that each situation varies with person and circumstance so research your case, find the answers...then PUT IT IN WRITING. It may be difficult but you must stand up for your own rights.
