I don't think there are good ways to inform people they are laid off. Personally, I prefer to receive an email than being told in person. At least I can keep my emotions for myself. The best thing that the company can do is to give a good severance package.

Right. Hitting someone with that out of nowhere and the inevitable "I have two sentences to save my job" response is awful. I would never want to be terminated in person.
