There's a maxim that people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses. There are not a lot of worse things a boss can do than eliminate a person's job because it is a violation of trust. All the things you list could have been part of the plan and offered when the redundancy was announced. That they were not shows that the boss was not thinking about the employees as people, merely as a cost center in an org-chart.

If the president cared, their ass would be on a plane to see people in person. They wouldn't be offloading the search for solutions to you.

Good luck.
