Laid Off vs Termination

I've come to a conclusion tonight.
Termination is better, emotionally, than being laid off. Here's my reasoning:
Being laid off is too slow, you have all this time to prepare yourself for the ending of your employment but, you don't make use of that time (at least I have not so far). You have made all these friendships that are more important than you realize and then, they are gone, you will likely never see these people again and you have not even described to them what they have meant to you, the impact they have had on your life.
I hope I NEVER have to go through another lay off again.

Losing a job is super stressful no matter how they do it. I think I'd rather have some warning than to just come in one day and find the doors locked with a notice posted on the door where to pick up final paychecks. That happened to a friend of mine last year. The week before Christmas. Happy holidays.
Does it seem to you that business close right before Christmas a lot? It must have something to do with taxes. They want to be closed before the new year begins.
