I think you're interpreting "doing poorly" wrong.

I read GP as saying that people who are laid off are currently going through a stressful time in their life: "doing poorly".

If your buddies are going through a stressful time in their life then you should be spending even more time with them if possible.

I completely agree... My comment was based on the assumption this conversation isn't about helping your buddies through a tough time, it's about who to network with when you've been laid off.
