In the previous firm I worked as VPE I was forced to let an entire team go due to financial constraints, and the following reviews were somewhat shocking.
I'll never forget this one review: "everyone in the company are spineless yes-men". I know who it was because that particular person used a German wording that's unusual and only a single person in that team ever used (it was a woman I actually respected / still respect / for her experience and commitment, but the review was submitted as a male).
I guess I'm letting these reviews get too close to me, but that hurt to read. I even made sure that everyone in that team got a new job and I even spent an hour or so per employee in reference calls with their future employers... and that review was written after their new contracts were signed.
