I feel like we're maybe getting confused about terminology here? "Redundancy" is a specific term for a specific form of dismissal. It's not a euphemism for "firing" because firing someone is a different kind of dismissal. Terms like rightsizing, reset, re-allocating resources, trimming the fat -- these are certainly euphemisms for redundancy that should be called out.
