This is related to something I've noticed every time a company gets itself in trouble -- it's the best people who are most easily able to go somewhere else. That does to some degree cut both ways -- they don't feel the desperate need to avoid the rush, because even if they do wait until the rush they'll still stand out; so if they want to hang tough and ride it out, they aren't taking a terrible risk.
I may have ridden out the high-risk part of my career; I've now been hired twice into good jobs when I was over 50. I was kinda worried for a while that it was going to get harder and harder to get my resume looked at, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

It may make it hard for big, inflexible companies with stupid policies.
Awwwww. Poor big, inflexible, stupid companies :-).
