Sorry to hear about this, being let go is always a demoralizing experience, but I just can't identify with this type of histrionic response towards being laid off at a company. It's not like you're losing a loved one, and if you properly built up your friendships with your coworkers, they'll still be meaningful relationships even after you're gone. All the lessons and skills that you acquired are still persistent as well. There must be some kind of cult of personality phenomenon that applies to companies as well as people. I hope that the one good takeaway for this person is that unless you're a majority stakeholder or have ownership in the company, one should learn to be detached about where your paycheck comes from.
