Maybe your question is a joke but I assume "impacted" means laid off in this context.
Kind of like when people say someone "passed away" to mean they died

Can we please just use "fired", "let go" or even "we separated with"? Impacted is just soft wording taken to a comedic level.

Fired implies with cause. In the US, it would be "laid off" and in the UK it's often "made redundant", which is itself more ambiguous than need be.
