person A: Recently heard that my father was laid off from his job. He's retirement age anyway_comma_ but I felt bad for him_comma_ as that must have been_comma_ at the very least_comma_ slightly humiliating. He's been a hard worker for 40 years_comma_ and has done well to support the family. But I do worry for him in the short-term.
person B: Oh that's awful!  I hope he is going to be okay.  Did they lay him off with severence or anything?
person A: Yeah_comma_ he gets severance. He was a hotel manager_comma_ and I don't think the hotel was doing well_comma_ but I'm not sure that could or would be entirely attributed to his performance. Think they just wanted a change of scenery. I'm partially glad_comma_ since he needs to relax anyway. It will be good for his health 
person B: Yeah.  He will get to spend more time with you all now!  Take the father on a vacation!
