Layoff emails felt... impersonal, to say the least.

Getting an email, no warning, no real conversation with your manager beforehand, just a notification that your access is being revoked and you're out.
I know companies try to be efficient, but this felt downright disrespectful. We've all put in crazy hours and dedicated ourselves to this place. To be let go like that, with a generic email... it just leaves a terrible taste in your mouth. It's like you were just a number, easily replaceable.
I've heard horror stories about other companies, but seeing it up close really hits different. It makes you question your loyalty and the value the company places on its employees. Has anyone else experienced this kind of impersonal layoff process here or elsewhere? How did you cope with it? It's hard to maintain any sense of pride or belonging after something like that.
