Meta's announcement to cut an additional 5% of low-performers was later described as 'non-regrettable attrition', showing how companies often dress up layoffs in euphemistic language to appease investors.
Steve McClatchy criticizes the use of euphemisms like 'non-regrettable attrition': 'How sad is that language? It's trying to say to the ownership group, we're headed in the right direction, not the wrong one.'
The attempt to soften the impact of job cuts often falls flat, as seen when Meta defined layoffs with terms like 'non-regrettable attrition', demonstrating the disconnect between corporate language and employee reality.
Companies often utilize phrases such as 'rightsizing' or 'streamlining' to describe workforce reductions, but such euphemisms do little to favorably alter the harsh reality faced by affected workers.
