right-sizes
Scales to fit
Right-sizes is a corporate euphemism for reducing the number of employees or the scale of operations, typically through layoffs or restructuring.
The term implies that the organization was previously the wrong size and is now being corrected to an appropriate level, lending a veneer of rationality to cuts that affect workers' livelihoods.
The company right-sizes its workforce every quarter based on projected revenue.
It belongs to the same family of business jargon as downsizing and streamlining.
