dumbsize

dumbsize: гл.

упр., преим. амер. сокрушать штат* (сокращать штат предприятия или государственного учреждения до такого уровня, что этого количества сотрудников уже не хватает для эффективной работы компании; слово носит иронический характер и образовано по аналогии со словом "downsize" — "сокращать", но с акцентом на "dumb" — "тупой, дурак")

Thus, in the future, businesses may be more reluctant to downsize so severely, or "dumbsize," as some cynics have termed it. — Таким образом, в будущем предприятия поостерегутся так значительно сокращать штат, или "сокрушать штат", как называют данное явление некоторые циники.
