I thought the same thing at 5 years, and everyone I heard from said it was a mistake to lay me off. Last I heard, my responsibilities were being split up between 3 people. On top of that I found out I was getting underpaid, so I was a good deal on top of that :p
Anyway despite all that, I still wasn't part of whatever vision upper management had going forward, so they gave me a sweet severance and sent me on my way. I'm not mad, but it's definitely made me careful not to expect my job to be safe.
Last time I was laid off it started with "we need to really nail down the docs for these systems".
No one ever gives you extra time for documentation.
Like you, my responsibilities were split between 2 or 3 people.
I'll never again do documentation that well. Fuck 'em. That's not true - I will, for myself.
