I don't know what you mean by "bad" or "right" but a layoff isn't necessarily bad. It's inevitable unless you demand incredibly conservative hiring practices, only hiring if you're willing to commit to that role existing for their natural life. So, it happens. There is a right way to do it and that's without any BS. Sadly people don't get much time to say their goodbyes, especially in a remote situation, but if even 1% of laid-off people become disgruntled it's not smart to be really loose with access to important systems after you've laid someone off.

Now, if you mean "bad" as in it's unpleasant to hear or give the news, I agree with you, it's always the opposite of fun.
