Wow. DD#2's 2006 Impala has been as reliable as a stone ax.
If she ever wants to replace it I guess I won't recommend a newer Impala.
The irony is, my 2012 is on the same W-Body platform that her 2006 uses. And was used back to 1987. The only major difference is that the '12 has the 300hp 3.6L and 6-speed auto. The only thing that's given me grief that's relayed to the new features is the high pressure fuel pump, all the other issues are of the "tried and proven" W-Body platform.

22 1/2 years and they show you the door? Dude, that sucks. I got laid off at the end of June after 20 years (at the time it was "we need 6 months to fix some things and we'll bring you back at the first of the year") and it absolutely is a blow to the ego. It was quite the emotional roller coaster for me, talking through it with family and close friends helped me a lot. I hope you're able to find something that challenges you quickly, best of luck and please keep us posted.

I got laid off from a similar situation 16 years ago butI had only been there for 5 years and I didn't get any severance pay. Any way about it it was the best thing that happened in my career. Sometimes getting laid off is a blessing. It forces you to get out and see what's out there.
Good luck with your job search.
