As someone who's parents are going through this I cannot disagree more. There are circumstances where it does happen.

That's very sad. Why are they getting divorced if they are happy?

I don't want to get too deeply into it but PTSD is one hell of a disease and destroys families.

Also sorry to hear it - I apologize if my quote was insensitive. My point was just that if layoffs are deemed necessary, one way or another it's best if the employee and company part ways sooner rather than later.

No problem at all. No need to apologize.
