job elimination
Workforce reduction measure
Job elimination is the permanent removal of a position from an organization, typically due to restructuring, budget cuts, or technological change.
Unlike being fired for cause, job elimination means the role itself disappears: Three hundred positions faced job elimination when the plant closed.
The phrase often appears in corporate communications as a softer alternative to "layoffs."
