 <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
 {{csrf_field()}}
 <button style="padding: 0" type="submit" class="btn btn-link margin-left-40"
 onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete {{ucfirst($user->name)}}?');">
 <i class="icmn-bin"></i> Delete</button>
 </form>

controller

   public function destroy(User $user)
{

    $thisuser = User::find($user->id);
    $thisuser->delete();

    return redirect('/staff');
}

You should try this:

public function destroy($id)
{
    //Soft delete
    $thisuser = User::destroy($id);

    //OR

    //Permanent Delete 
    $thisuser = User::where('id',$id)->delete();


    return redirect('/staff');
}

In addition to Kuldeep Mishra's solution, make sure your form is properly bound to the user you intend to delete.

Please try 

public function destroy($id)
{

    $thisuser = User::find($id);
    $thisuser->delete();

    return redirect('/staff');
}
