Even a white lie may help here. For example: "The company is eliminating your position. It has nothing to do with your performance, which has been excellent/good/satisfactory over the past X years."
Aug 25, 2020 at 23:09 comment added Malisbad To expand on this, particularly in North America, your career is a massive part of your identity and you're ripping that away from each individual that gets laid off. Beyond the general "emotional" aspect, there is great shame in losing your work, and therefore a huge part of yourself.
