""sorry! Well at least you'll get to spend a little more time with little Jimmy!"" I don't know if anyone is really that stupid especially someone who is in charge of firing. That is like rubbing salt in your wounds. A better way would be "Sorry you have to go through this but we have no choice because <fill with HR/Legal script>". May be I am rating those firing-in-charge people way too high intellectually. But I find this argument that "companies are too stupid hence they would rather not say anything human" seems far fetched. I am probably too naive though.
