"degrowth" is some real BS. Actual words for this are "decline", "reduction", "shrinkage", "decrease", hell even "atrophy".

- close04 3y agoThe goal of these words is to minimize the negative associations, or maximize the positive ones. A lot of corporate lingo is aimed at this. It's a trend that won't die (pardon, "won't un-live") because it's unreasonably effective at obscuring an otherwise bad situation. Either it leaves a better or less worse opinion of what was said compared to normal language, or it makes everything so unclear that the listener has no hopes of understanding the real, desolate, message.

- charles_f 3y agoThere's no degrowth in that case, tcs clearly has deinvested maintenance of its humanoid resources, resulting in deperformance, ultimately ending in the detrust of its customers, who will degive them their money, tcs deriching, and deemploying people. One can only hope those will successfully deunemploy, hopefully following the dedecline of the economy
