Do these scumbags really think changing the terminology is going to be some pc marketing stroke of genius that will make people think differently?
“Oh well at least they weren’t fired” “they exited their employment”

ouch
Are you new to employment? The term "exit" has been used in this manner for decades.

I’m not “knew” to employment. But I am retired.
And I’ve never heard that term used before to describe being “fired”.
Been in the work force a very long time. Must be some corporate “educated” mumbo jumbo type of lingo.
All I’ve been seeing is “fired” until the last few weeks when I started noticing that “exit” term being utilized more. So there.

I've never heard that phrase before. I think people think their regional phrases are heard by everyone, so they need to school others.

And I'm not *knew* to employment either. Or spelling.

Given this is a country-wide mandate, I am curious where they think they will find employment.
We just have to fill out a form that says we haven't had any covid symptoms.

I think this will screw up the economy more than it is already.
That seems to be the goal. I'm against the mandate, as well and hope OSHA refuses to do anything with this.

It's not regional. I've worked all over the US and it's a common phrase. Hirschman (1970) has a good writeup on it in his books.

It's not PC either as was erroneously claimed earlier. It's more like people who hear something for the first time feel they need to label it PC rather than taking a minute to learn about it.

The next term will be "offed" in a different context.

Saying, 'We'll have to exit employees' and using the word 'exit' as a verb is a commonplace term, yet some of us have never heard of it. I've worked for various companies in Chicago and never heard it. Exit strategy, exit interview, not exit employees as a verb.

Mine is. No vaccine, no job. This should be interesting. I know of some very valuable employees who will walk.
