Houston Chronicle "position-elimination program"

[Cansportschick]

Flash and IJAG --
What is it, national Be Too Literal Week?
Yeesh.

Apparently. it is.
Sorry, csc.

Um, there's more than one "chick" in Canada, Fenian. Flash is not Cansportschick.

No harm done. Just don't do it again Fenian ;D I am definitely not Flash by a long shot.

Just saw this on Romenesko. Not that another layoff is news, but come on ... "position-elimination program?"

That's as close to non-bull**** as I've seen. It's certainly more direct than "downsizing" or "rightsizing."

 

[txscoop]

I heard the SA Express is doing the same thing.
