When the corporate suits come up with new & unique ways of saying, "your fired". 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.

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

No position to hold. I've been retired for almost 4 years. It's the best! I was born for retirement and I excel at it....

Hey Joe, I got a twenty year head start on you. I'm into my 24th year of "full" retirement! Somebody has to do it ~ BTW, retired USN 36 years ago... The geezer LT sends.
