I was working as a community team lead for a startup and had to lay off 7 employees from our 10 employee team. They were contractors and technically weren't entitled to anything, but I still fought like hell to get them severance. Contractors aren't lesser people than employees, and they had worked just as hard for us. It was heartbreaking and though everyone took it well, it still haunted me for a long time. That was when jobs were easy to get and I knew they'd be ok.
Yes, restructuring after closing programs. People who had been with the company for 10, 20, 30 years. It was the right thing for the org but absolutely brutal.
