company ruins life of employee: stonk
employee ruin company: immediate imprisonment
edit:
actually, it did nothing to the company but cost it a few bucks. do not pass go/collect $200.
this person was not fired, he was laid off. he was not actively harming the company until the company ruined his life.
I mean the guy was just laid off. They didn’t “ruin his life.” They employed him for 11 years.
4 years is a bit much though!
He was employed for 11 years.

If it was in Europe, people being made redundant are typically given several months pay, but it's America so he probably just got a t-shirt and a cardboard box.
