Separated? Is this American english?
- keiferski 7y agoSounds like a weird new euphemism for laid off, designed to make it seem less negative.
- bogomipz 7y agoIt's actually an HR(human resources) term. There's a standard document employees sign called a "separation agreement." See: https://gusto.com/blog/people-management/employee-separation-agreement https://gusto.com/blog/people-management/employee-separation...
- HumblyTossed 7y agoCompanies go out of their way to use words that they hope will soften what is actually happening. Separated almost sounds as if this was consensual. That being said, Airbnb gets some credit for a decent severance.
