Pretty much the same it does to every bad news there ever was:

"I'm sorry but budget cuts mean we can't extend your contract at the end of the year"
VS
"You're fired, clean out your desk and security will see you out"


"Your childhood house is going to be turned into a shopping mall, construction starts next year"
VS
"Hey what the fuck did they do to our home?"


"Your dog is getting old, we're giving him a few months, maybe a year"
VS
"Your dog has been hit by a car"
