Haven't had a chance to see if anyone's mentioned it before.
Hateful word. It's a polite word for "We're going to shaft all of our loyal staff, rather royally, get them to train their poorly paid, inexperienced replacements, then heave them out the door with as little compensation as possible". Sad thing is, I've rarely seen a case of this working well. Seems to be that the service delivered is never better and usually of a much lower standard and the company ends up bringing most of the function back in-house as soon as their contract allows them. Still, it keeps shareholders happy for a few minutes, so that means it OK, to fuck about with people's lives.
