You know it's satire from the title (and the first paragraph) because it uses terms like "fired" and "let go". Nobody uses those anymore. You're "impacted".

- esafak 3y ago"Poor people used to live in slums. Now the economically disadvantaged occupy substandard housing in the inner cities. And they're broke! They're broke! They don't have a negative cash-flow position. They're ****ing broke! Cause a lot of them were fired. You know, fired. Management wanted to curtail redundancies in the human resources area, so many people are no longer viable members of the workforce."

- janalsncm 3y agoA term which I hate because potentially everyone on the team was “impacted” if they have to do the same work with fewer people. It’s just one person who isn’t getting paid.
- rng99834 3y agoPro tip, it goes both ways. "Unfortunately, you have been impacted by my resignation"
- ok_vimmer 3y ago"transitioning"
- diego_sandoval 3y agoIf companies started saying "We have taken the decision to fire you", people would complain about it being too harsh. If they say impacted, people complain that it's euphemistic. In the end, people just want to complain, and they're going to do it either way.
- saagarjha 3y agoYes, because they are getting fired!
- iteratethis 3y agoThis needs further dehumanization: your "role" is impacted.
