> "[...]the team [...] has been let go." no, No, NO - They were NOT "let go". A balloon on a string, a hostage in a dungeon, a bird in a cage - these are all things that are struggling to get free and of which it can therefore be said that we "let go". But a human being who would, presumably, remain at their job if given any choice in the matter has not been "let go" - that person has been jettisoned, discarded, fired. The author does us all a disservice by hiding the truth with shallow euphemisms.
