A friend has an MBA from Harvard. Upon graduating they did their requisite stint at McKinsey for 18 mos, then went to work for a Fortune 100 corp, explicitly hired to be developed as eventual mid to upper management. After 15 years, upper management shifted and their future prospects instantly dimmed. So they picked up the phone, called the Harvard Alumni office, which in a matter of days set up interviews for them at other fortune 500 companies. They had another job offer in an entirely different field in about 2 weeks from the initial phone call. This is a recent anecdote, about 5-6 years ago when all the aforementioned problems were already evident.
