Much like any job you take, so much depends on the corporate culture,
personalities, as well as the situation.  I am working happily in a
decommissioning situation where their interests and mine match very well.
Were I to give advice to someone entering such a job, I would say insist on
knowing who you will be working with, their "fate", and that they be
included in the interview, or you at least meet them before committing.  It
is a reasonable request.   As to their resenting you, that is illogical, as
Spock would say.  I have been displaced myself, but I did not blame the
workers who were just trying to have jobs themselves.  Blame, if any, goes
on management, not you.  I suspect this was a very unhappy shop before any
of this happened.
