    Tbf, I didn’t see the .au in the URL.

    Good point on the distinction between layoff and firing though. Although I still dislike “redundant” as a synonym for the former.

      As an American, I also don’t like the term “layoff” because it sounds temporary. I prefer the term “downsize” when referring to groups of people, or “let go” for individuals.
