I don't want to work with people who insist on butting their heads into my personal life in order to avoid "distancing themselves from their actions" and "dehumanizing" their colleagues. I want predictable behavior that's limited in scope to the business tasks at hand.
If your boss needs to take into account the personal consequences on the employees they fire, then now employees have to start playing a bullshit game of convincing colleagues how precarious their personal situation is and how much stress and uncertainty is in their life and how their family depends on them. The stoic professionals who just get things done at work are effectively getting punished for focusing on delivering value to the business.
Like, I get it, professionalism definitely has downsides. It also has advantages. People know how things are going to work and can focus on things that are more relevant to the core business. It's a trade-off.
