He may be better off in the long term, but short term unexpected unemployment hurts. Can hurt long term too, since you will have to take whatever job you can get as soon as possible (unless you have enough savings). And that job you get may not be at the same point as you were in your career progression, since many employers prefer to hire someone who is already working.

It was a small company doing the firing, they definitely "took it personally". Bigger companies are more likely to have uncaring bureaucrats I think.
