Pretty vacant

By Press Gazette

Journalists always like to poke fun at managementspeak.

The
sort of ghastly mangling of the English language where being made
redundant is twisted into “being impacted by downsizing”. Now Trinity
Mirror has come up with a beauty. It is not a “jobs freeze” Trinity
managers are being encouraged to say, it is simply “vacancy management”.

Try fitting that into a snappy headline.
