It's horrible to see anyone let go... Under any circumstances.
Please support them by keeping in touch, helping them find jobs (by writing linkedin reviews), contacting them to provide support and encouragement... Not just today, but into the future, at least until they land somewhere.
Thank you all.
Think that we all need to do the things said in this post by @X8LTIqU-2ehn . Tomorrow it could be us and support means a lot.
