Doing More with Less

Euphemism Management Buzzword General

The official aspiration after cuts: same output, fewer people, presented as an efficiency challenge rather than arithmetic. The 'more' is mandatory; the 'less' is you.

Heard in the wild

“This year's theme is doing more with less — the theme is also unpaid.”

Tone check: Euphemism
