Sounds like a corporate jargon. It must be the latest in corporate jargon thought up from some fresh out of college retail trent setter.

I know years ago when the trade was opened to Mexico, the phase to get cheap labor was called "outsourcing", and it caused plants to be shut down here in USA because they could get it cheaper in Mexico. I know my job was lost to this, they outsourced the labor to Mexico and because they kept the engineering side in the USA, they could still stamp the parts made in the USA. The guys that went down there to train workers was amazed at the labor force. They had rows and rows of manufacturer's of all types and buses of people brought in each day; and depending on what you served for lunch that day and pay would depend on how many or type of workers you would get. I don't see how this benefited the company profits if it was a constant change over of workers.

Sorry for the rant but this is a sore subject to me. I gave that company 23+years, my mother had 37 years with them and some of the workers let go it was their only job when it closed.
