Merck Memo Shows How Layoff Workers Without Using the Word ‘Layoff’ By EmploymentCrossing  |  Dated: 09-20-2011



Merck Memo Uses 12 Euphemisms Merck president Mark Timney recently sent his U.S. employees a memo which contains at least 12 different euphemisms for the company’s planned job cuts and layoffs in October, but doesn’t actually mention the words “jobs” or “layoffs.” Merck should be praised for talking openly about the fact that it needs to reduce its workforce by 13,000.Rather than waffling about the need for unchanged change, the entirety of the memo could have been reduced to a couple of sentences if Timney had written them in plain English.

  • We have more jobs than any other job board.

  • We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
  • We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
