"Downsizing", "redundancy", "re-orient" - it's just one long euphemism for "firing".

• Actually, no, it's not. The usual connotation of firing is termination for cause or ineffectiveness. "Downsizing" and "redundancy" refer to terminations because of business conditions, usually not pertaining to the job performance of the employee.

I removed the sentences which state that outplacement services can also be paid for by individual jobseekers because none of the outplacement services looked at have links on their sites where an individual jobseeker can hire their services. Therefore, please list, on this Talk page, outplacement firms which allow jobseekers to purchase the firms' services at their own expense, and we can add those sentences back to the article.
