Probably because it doesn't sound as drastic or frightening as downsizing (another crap made up word btw).

Select your management friendly pussycat option:

1. "We are slashing 500 jobs as part of our downsizing as conditions are really tough"
2. "The company is rightsizing to adjust to a changing market"

Sacking is sacking. Even management/corporate bullshit can't hide that.

I thought I would test the interchangeability of "issue" and "problem" and I think the example below shows it doesn't really matter.

Uh, it doesn't work though? If you substitute the dictionary meaning you get:

If there was a topic for discussion, yo I'd solve it

You can't solve a topic, only a problem.

So there, Si Si Baby.

Derridan philosophical position...a cheese cake is neither really cheese or a cake...when it is deconstructed. Apply the process to many of the assumptions of Western culture, and cheese cake is a metaphor for the ills of the early 21st Century.

The French may be a bunch of cunts but they do produce philosophers...my current fave is Frederic Gros....author of a Philosophy of Walking.

I second that, and also when they invite previous winners back to sample food. Is there a rule saying you have to be a pretentious cunt when eating? I'm sure they weren't like that prior to winning. I don't know about you but when I eat I either like or don't, I don't over analysis the food.
