On the other hand at least they’re not using cute pet names to refer to fired personnel, so that’s better.

Ooh, they also didn't use the word "impacted." Kudos to them.
What have I missed?

Zooms layoff note earlier this week referenced employees as “Zoomies”.

There was the recent use of "Dutonians" by Pager Duty's CEO https://www.pagerduty.com/blog/letter-to-employees/

Pretty sure your first paragraph was enough, don’t really see the point of bringing up a rape victim example.
I mean, “dutonians” from PagerDuty is enough to illustrate how ridiculous this whole thing is
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve toned it down.
However I want companies to understand how terrible that malpractice is.
