"I have never had to face a more difficult moment than this," he declared. "Not all managers are cold and heartless people. There are those like me who are affected by the choices they have to make, but they cannot behave differently. With this message I hope to show my ex employees how much I care about them and how sorry I am."

Readers were divided into two "factions": on the one hand, there are those who have shown the man sympathy; on the other hand, there were those who criticized him.
