Call It What You will.

Job cuts are in the headlines everyday. Layoffs have become leading news on business channels and in newspapers everywhere. Where they were once big news, they have become as commonplace as "economic forecasting".

Some of the more creative Managers and companies have developed a number of head scratching euphemisms which seem nonsensical. Here are a few of my favorites:

─ “De-verticalization”
─ “Synergy related headcount adjustment goal”
─ “Surplusing”
─ “Dynamic rightsizing”
