Three things:
1) I really feel for those guys. Technology is like that: one day you're on top and the next day you're on the street
2) Work as hard as you can at something and never regret it. The only person that can make you feel tricked into working 20-hour days is yourself. Don't do that to yourself.
3) Bitterness isn't going to make it any better. Sucks to hear that, yes, but what you need now most of all is a positive attitude and motivation to go out and kick ass. Might take some time to get that back, but work on that instead of chewing on what some C-level jerk is planning on doing or has done to a company you're no longer with.
Thinking about my comments some, there's probably a very good reason I never had a job as a counselor. Sometimes what folks really need is a beer and somebody to complain to. Sadly, I'm probably not that guy.
