maybe doing something wrong should be emotionally painful for managers and HR staff.

Not all layoffs are “wrong”; we maybe kept 200 people employed for a year or two longer than we would have by restructuring and laying off 20-30.

Net positive in my book. Of course on an individual level it sucks, these are people with dependants and so on, but so are the 200 who were saved.
