Before employees, partners, and associates it was workers. All part of the same old euphemism treadmill. "Städare" (cleaner) becoming "lokalvårdare" (environment caretaker) is a personal favourite from my childhood in Sweden. Same darn job and pay; that fancy new name cost your employer nothing other than a new badge of course.
- Traubenfuchs 3y ago> "Städare" (cleaner) becoming "lokalvårdare" We often call it "facility management" / "facility manager" in the German world.
- hnbad 3y agoJust to be clear: we use those exact English words in German. "Manager" in this case is just a euphemism although normally "Manager" is used exactly as in English (i.e. someone overseeing other people).
