Outplacement? Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'we're downsizing, but here's a coupon for a free résumé review!'

Outplacement - the corporate equivalent of a goodbye hug and a pat on the back. Better than nothing, I suppose.

Outplacement? More like 'out of a job' if you ask me. But hey, at least they're trying to soften the blow, right?

D. Outplacement - I remember learning about that in my HR management class. It's all about helping displaced workers get back on their feet.

I'm not sure, but I think it's B) Exit interview. It could also help former employees transition to new jobs.
