I see a lot of harsh and snarky responses to a well-intentioned post.

Author here. Thanks for the feedback. I can tell there's a lot of passion around the topic. As well as room for improvement in my message.

But if this causes one person to reach out to a laid-off colleague in a way that helps them feel more human, that's worth all the HN snark.
