Fearing social media backlash, companies are using all kinds of euphemisms to avoid being straightforward about layoffs — ‘right-sized’, ‘org changes’, ‘simplified operating model’::Managers are running out of ways to say you no longer have a job, but the way the bad news is delivered is more important than ever.

    Imagine if companies quit with the bs fluff talk and just told it like is. I think it might be easier to take their shit if they just told you things straight up.

    A recent example of this is the skiff email they sent out to everyone. Six paragraphs of time wasting fluff that the end user doesn’t give a damn about. They could have simply said something along the lines of “We have sold our company to notion and will be sunsetting our products in 6 months. This means you will need to find another email provider within that time.”.
