I don’t know, man. Hearing someone refer to layoffs as “right-sizing” leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, and I don’t think that’s an unfair reaction.

They do explicitly say "lay offs" in the first sentence though, so they don't avoid the term completely.

"right sizing" is an age-old term for layoffs going back to the 70s. It's a corpomeme at this point.
