when you first read it, did you feel better or worse for the employees when they wrote impacted vs "laid off"

I went back to GitLab's announcement, because I thought it was better: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2023/02/09/gitlab-news/

Turns out, it says: "reduce the size of our team by 7%", which also isn't as specific as the OP is suggesting.

HOWEVER, they then go on to spend more than half of their post explaining how the impacted staff is supported, and YES, that did make me feel better.
