ORIGINAL: LinnaeaBorealis I hate it when I have to talk to outsourced people. I hate the euphemism "outsourced". And downsized. And a host of other euphemisms. When I broke my foot last year, my bos told me she had to "separate" me, which wasn't a termination. I asked if they would continue to pay me. She said no. I asked if I would continue to show asan employee of their company. She said no. I said, "Sounds like you fired me then!" She insisted that she hadn't. It was kind of a fun semantic run-around though. These euphemisms smack of political correctness, Linea, and I just won't have that. *giggles* Signed, PoliticallyIncorrectSwitchBitch
