that's not always the case. I've seen situations where managers were forced to lay people off due to a company decision. When the company stabilized in a few months, managers reached out to these fired and they happily joined back. It's all a matter of treating people with empathy and honesty even in bad scenarios. That being said, this is most likely not one of these cases.

That’s different than firing people outright.
