job restructuring
Workplace position changes
Job restructuring is the reorganization of roles, responsibilities, or positions within a company.
It often accompanies layoffs, mergers, or strategic shifts: The job restructuring eliminated three departments but created two new ones.
The term sometimes serves as corporate euphemism for cuts: They called it job restructuring, but half the staff lost their positions.
