In a place of work some jobs might be replaced by trends or technology which makes the person or people that were handling these jobs redundant. It can be frustrating for such a worker because the next thing might just be a layoff. No employment will want to keep paying a redundant worker over nothing.So the best bet is for the worker to figure out a perfect way out. But if you are in the position or privilege to help you can assist by doing the following.

1.Start by helping the person with good advice on job hunting and well written CV.

Well I had someone who experienced this, though he worked by himself, but at a time the services he rendered got phased out and replaced by modern technology. Thanks for some connections and his ability to push on. The loss of a job is a stressful event. It can lead to an experience of depression and anxiety, but also to feelings of isolation, anger, sadness and helplessness. People who have been made redundant need support from family, friends and colleagues as they come to terms with their new situation. Here are some ways you can help:

Stay calm yourself. It's important that you do not get stressed or upset about the situation. Your friend or relative will be feeling down already — don't add to their worries by getting stressed yourself.

Keep in contact with your friend or relative after the redundancy has happened. It's easy for people who've been made redundant to feel isolated when they're first out of work — so keep in touch with them by phone or email if possible, especially if they have children or other dependants.

Offer practical help such as babysitting or housework where possible — this will help your friend or relative feel less alone while they are looking for another job (or waiting for benefits).
 
You are right on the people getting depressed because just thinking alone that you are going to lose your job is no joke. Even for those working online just seeing your most earning site being shut down is a very big issues because you know your source is gone till you are able to find a good replacement. So at that point it is not time to be stressed or be anxious. This is what I tell redundant people it is time for solution and not worries.

let people know your predicament and it might just be a way you would get fixed as soon as possible don't only rely on your abilities. Spread your tentacles and see if you can be lifted and you might just be lucky you would find a job that will match your skills that you can hold onto while you start upgrading your skills.

Keeping a job these days need one learning daily, you don't have to be stagnated or else you be redundant and no employer will want to keep paying one that their skills are no longer relevant to the work that the company offers. So it either you pull yourself up or you are pull out.
 
If you or someone you know has been made redundant, it can be a difficult and confusing time. Here are a few ways you can help:

Firstly, try to remain positive and upbeat. This can be difficult, but it’s important to remember that things will eventually get better.

Secondly, offer practical help where you can. This might include help with writing a CV, searching for new jobs, or preparing for interviews.

Thirdly, be a good listener. Let the person offload their worries and stress, and offer a sympathetic ear.

Finally, try to encourage the person to stay active and engaged. This might mean suggesting social activities, joining a hobby group, or volunteering.

If you can offer support in any of these ways, you’ll be helping someone through a tough time.
