Whatever You Do, Don't Say Layoffs

from the talking-your-way-around dept

If you think politicians are insane in the way they word bad news, have you looked at some company announcements lately?

Cisco went them one better with “involuntary attrition”. No, I wasn’t laid off. I was affected by an involuntary attrition.
