To "let go (of an employee)" does not express that an employee has been replaced, only that an employee has been fired.
To "let go (of an employee)" does not express that an employee "resigned". "To resign (from a job)" is to step down or formally end one's tenure for any number of reasons.
To "let go (of an employee)" does not express that an employee has been "sent away", but rather that he or she has been fired.
To "let go (of an employee)" does not express that an employee "retired". If a person "retires", then they have stopped working, often because they have worked for a long period of time and wish to relax.
The expression "to let go (of an employee)" is common way to express that an employee has been "fired". The term to "let go" is less direct, more professional way of saying that someone "has been fired".
Um hmm, um hmm. I'm with you on this one. A nice deep-tissue rub-down with some apricot marmalade, or maybe some vegemite: count me in!

This statement is not true. Bruno tells Luna that if she helps Jean get training, then he can remain on the staff. Therefore, Bruno has not made a decision to "fire" Jean or "let him go". "To let someone go" is a nice, professional way of saying that someone will be "fired", or that their contract will be terminated.
This statement is true. Bruno tells Luna that Jean can stay on the team if he receives training. Luna agrees to help Jean get trained.
This statement is true. Bruno complains about Jean Marron's actions at the office, then asks Luna: "Do you recall my email about Jeffrey Steele... I'm pretty sure he has a Master's in programming". It seems clear that Bruno would have preferred that Jeffrey was hired, not Jean Marron.

This is not a suitable statement. Philip was asked by Luna not to "mention any pregnancy issues". Philip should therefore avoid referring to the fact that the applicant may soon have a baby.
This is not a suitable statement. Luna asks Philip to be "sensitive", meaning she wants him to be "thoughtful", "kind" and "concerned".
This would be a suitable statement to include in a rejection letter. Philip needs to tell the applicant that she has not been selected for the position.
In another situation this would be one way of firing someone from a position. The purpose, however, of Philip's letter is to reject a job applicant, not to terminate her employment. To "let (an employee) go" is a common way to say that an employee has been "fired".
This would be a suitable way of ending an applicant rejection letter. It's always nice to look to the future in a positive way!
This would be a suitable way of telling an applicant that they have not been selected for the position. Luna tells Philip that he must not "mention any pregnancy issues", so this statement would be a neutral way to deliver bad news.

1 to lay somebody: "To lay (somebody) off" is a neutral way of saying "to fire (somebody from their job)". The expression is often used to talk about lots of people losing their job. Example: The company is LAYING OFF 500 workers/staff/employees. Don't forget that "to lay off" is irregular: He was LAID OFF from his job OR I have been LAID OFF. The verb can also be used as a noun. Example: There have been lots of LAY-OFFS in the factory this year.
1 to give somebody: Oops! "To give somebody off" doesn't make sense!
1 to make somebody: Oops! "To make somebody off" doesn't make sense!
1 to let somebody: Oops! "To let (somebody) off" is a phrasal verb, but it doesn't mean "to fire (somebody)". "To let (somebody) off" means not to punish somebody after they have done something wrong (or just give them a light punishment). Example: Fortunately, the police LET me OFF with a warning.
2 to give somebody: "To give somebody the sack" is an informal British idiom that means to fire an employee, often (but not always) because they have done something wrong. Example: Icarus was caught stealing biscuits from the kitchen so Bruno GAVE him the SACK. Note, in the song, the machine says, "You've GOT the sack", which is a variant on the expression. It is also possible to use "sack" as a verb on its own. Example: Bruno SACKED Icarus (for stealing biscuits).
2 to lay somebody: Sorry, this expression does not exist!
2 to make somebody: Sorry, this expression does not exist!
2 to let somebody: Sorry, this expression does not exist!
3 to make somebody: "To make (somebody) redundant" is a British expression that means "to make somebody unemployed (so that they don't have a job)". Example: Two of my colleagues were MADE REDUNDANT last week. The term "redundancy" is also used. Example: Due to competition from foreign car manufacturers, thousands of factory workers are facing (or are threatened with) REDUNDANCY.
3 to give somebody: Good news: You've invented a new expression! Bad news: This expression is not English!
3 to lay somebody: Good news: You've invented a new expression! Bad news: This expression is not English!
3 to let somebody: Good news: You've invented a new expression! Bad news: This expression is not English!
4 to let somebody: The idiom "To let (someone) go" is a euphemistic and indirect way of saying "to fire (someone)". Example: I'm sorry, but I think it will be better for you and the company if we LET YOU GO. In the song, the AFS machine says, "We have no choice but to let you go".
4 to give somebody: This does not make sense!
4 to make somebody: This expression makes sense, but it is certainly not a common idiom associated with firing!
4 to lay somebody: This does not make sense!
