How can we use these words at work - 'downsizing', 'restructuring', 'streamlining'? 🤔
Tell us in the comments. 😄
Thanks fella.
Restructuring is used for re-organising the companie when it losed its money ...etc
But streamlinig used for not to made the problem very big , so it has a positive effect on its listeners
However dowsizing means people when their lose their jobs in the society or the last when it loses its affers and money
Excellent lesson as always. One euphemism I really hate is "We have to let you go". I find it
so hypocritical. Where do you have to let me go? I like best the end of the lesson, starting with
letting the person know that there are bad news for them. A very difficult thing to do, but
an honest way to say the painful news.

I am facing the restructing from my company. Lucky, there is nothing change on my role. Downsizing is what we can't escape nowadays
That's good to hear! Quick tip - 'luckily' is the adverb you want in your second sentence. 😊
