Are there any recent examples of massive deflation occurring in an economy, and how it affected everyday living for average folks?

I'd take a guess that inflation is almost always worse due to the working class feeling the effects. But I could see how deflation could possibly lead to layoffs at companies/businesses. Many States have labor laws saying you can't give someone a pay cut. But you can still fire them for any reason you want to.
