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.
If there was an issue, yo I'd solve it

Check out the hook whilst ma deejay revolves it 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. |
