For fired bosses, a hunt for a second act? a second career? Thanks

Yes, that's what it means, though the metaphor comes from the art of theater. A play will have a first act which tells the first part of the story, then an intermission to take a rest, and finally a second act which resolves the problems from the first act. And sometimes a third act and fourth act and so on.
