Like they did

“Nobody likes to see your colleagues go through a day like they did,” Lauretta said. “It was a stark reminder of the risk we face in this business.” (The Guardian.)

Does "like they did" mean "like they went through a previous day" in the above?

Not necessarily. By the way. it's unclear who the 'your' and 'their' refer to.

Logically, I would read it as 'like the day they just went through', i.e', the day under discussion.
