The removal of Russian developers working for sanctioned companies is a prime example of how one creates collective trauma by not being careful enough on how to convey the message proper.

The messaging were terrible, yes, a lot of people understood immediately why it happened, no, you can't look at it rationally and say "people will know". Your own collective trauma stood in the way.

Some people lost trust, others feel deeply betrayed, not due to the step itself, but by the way it was done.
