Remember the terms, "re-engineered" & "downsized". I just received word from an ex-colleague of mine that the latest buzz word going around the company, (probably in preparations for firings) is "Optimization". Great word. Sounds not bad either. Let's see.... In order to optimize your department to it's most efficient standard, we hafta let you go!!! Bye. Don't let the door, etc.... I gotta hand it to the suits for coming up with that very benign way of telling someone they're fired. Don'cha just love it? | ||

I hope that's not my next meeting; so far in my career I've been "downsized" (1982); and "right sized" (1997); you mean the next one could be "optimized"? I think I'll just call it retired | ||
