I thought IBM was good with mealy mouthed terminology, with "Career Transition Programs" and "Workforce Rebalancing"

And then comes Fujitsu with.

"As part of its human resources initiatives to strengthen its status as a DX company, Fujitsu will temporarily expand its 'Self-Produce Support System' to support employees seeking career course redirection outside of the Fujitsu Group"


Which means. "Making older workers redundant just because they are older"

All illegal in most 1st world economies, all of which do nothing about it.

I don't know about you, but when I was pushed out of the corporate world I quickly began to find all the circumlocution even more ridiculous than I had before. I couldn't go back to it now even if I wanted to.

I'm still exposed to it maybe a dozen times a year and sometimes it causes me to laugh spontaneously which I then have to explain without offending anybody. HR is of course the source of much of it.

"DX" is ridiculous jargon even in its expanded form.

DX used to be the name of a postal service for solicitors. I don't know whether it still is, but I've recently seen a lorry, with that name on, delivering parcels to a care home. Maybe they're branched out.

DX started out as a Document Exchange for the legal profession. It got big in the nineties and was sold to Hays.
