Bebemoche Spends Entire Day Compiling Deck On Firing/Making Redundant/Laying Off/Canning European Employees

I forgot to add "letting go"...

If any of you have other terms please post them in comments. I want to have the strongest possible vocabulary in this area.

    Discarding of invaluable resources?
    Downsizing?
    Restructuring?
    Making French employees happy?
    Should I add more?

    Actually, most of those terms mean different things. "Firing" implies the employee has done something wrong. "Laying off" usually happens when money is tight and the company has to, for example, reduce its labor costs, but it doesn't imply any wrongdoing by employees (well, perhaps not being productive enough!). "Downsizing" and "restructuring" are similar to "laying off", though in perhaps different contexts. I assume you know this, but just in case...

    try those:
    - re-introduce into the market
    - release to the market
    - rip (reduction in personnel)
    - adjust the skills-mix
    - uninstall
    - offer a career change
    - order empty boxes
    - delete a few records from mySAP HR
    - deactivate a few passwords
