Reduction is a negative word. Could trigger the snowflakes at your office.

I think the correct term is "reassessment of human resources" or "restructuring", it is a bit like guy who steals your car at gunpoint in SF but is kind enough to ask you your preferred pronoun.

Perhaps taking your metaphor a bit too literally, but interesting nonetheless: I don't live in a country where guns are either legal or common, but from my understanding of de-escalation advice, polite and careful interactions with criminals are recommended. Engaging in calm dialogue supposedly reduces the chance that the criminal will get scared and pull the trigger, because most people would rather be in the dock for theft than murder, as well as murder having greater moral implications.

I am no entirely use if that moral implications of their actions or the legal distinction of different crimes is easily conveyed when the disadvantaged person has fentanyl pumping through their blood stream.
