Losing one's job.

Setting for the story: Present day, Melbourne, Australia.

My google-fu is weak. A character of mine is losing her (computer programming) job because the company is "downsizing". The problem is, I know not much about how career discussions go, what with my never having had a job (no, I'm not 14 years old - I'm just disabled :)).

So how would an employer go about breaking this news to an employee? What would be said? How does it work?
