I thought "right-sizing" was a fake term made up to parody the already euphemistic "downsizing". I can't believe people are actually using it.

I think it is perfect because it assigns blame at the right place in my mind- the people that had no idea what they were doing and hired too many people in the first place.

I thought it was meant to avoid embarrassment when the same organization hires new people at or near the same time?

Yep, Scott Adams was one of them, and he further extrapolated that we’ll eventually say “orgasmsized”.
