#layoffs

Quietly lining up a backup job in case yours falls through.

Cutting staff subtly to avoid a public layoff announcement.

Terminated from a job for business reasons, not performance.

Reduction in force; a corporate euphemism for layoffs.

A temporary unpaid leave with the job kept open.

Pay and benefits given to a departing laid-off employee.

Laid off as part of a reduction in force.

Reassigning workers to worse roles instead of laying them off.
