In the UK you are not allowed to talk about people getting fired; you must talk about redundancy and roles (not people) being made 'potentially' redundant (i.e. 'impacted')

It's a very controlled legal wording and process for a large redundancy approach and must be adhered to very carefully so as not to fall foul of tribunals and unfair dismissals.

I don't know Klarna or Shopify from the inside, but I suspect this difference is largely down to the differences in legal obligations between Canada and the UK
