outplaced
Given severance package
Outplaced is the past tense of outplace, a corporate euphemism meaning to be laid off or terminated while receiving assistance finding new employment.
Companies outplace workers through specialized firms that help with résumé writing and job searches: After the merger, three hundred employees were outplaced.
The term softens the reality of job loss.
