Whilst it is nice to see the back of some people, and slam the door as they leave...
"Let go" is just a euphemism used by management to avoid the sad truth that they are removing the livelihood of a real person. Thus, sacking someone is turned into something that sounds actually attractive. Dear little bird: I am going to have to let you go.
OK, I accept that hiring and firing is a necessary part of management, but let the firing not be sugar-iced. It is what it is: let us not humour those people by using their self-protective jargon.
