The society-friendly term for downsizing/laying off people, in an attempt to make the situation look less grim. Recently used in the media by companies who have overspent or mismanaged their budget and have to cut spending somewhere, yet they continue to pay outrageuos salaries to CEOs, Presidents, Vice-Presidents, etc.
"I'm so broke since the layoff, I can't pay my rent. It's depressing!"
"Well, if you get evicted maybe you can offer to house-sit for Jon Moneybags. I hear he has a huge house, and he'll be on vacation in Hawaii for two weeks.
"Great idea. It's a good thing that he's the Big Cheese and wasn't affected by the rightsizing."

In NZ, in the 1990s, the Kiwi beer Tui adopted and adapted the phrase “yeah right” for a billboard campaign that poked fun at all aspects of culture, sex, romance, life and geopolitics.
“Yeah Right” became a New Zealand pop culture catchphrase and integral cornerstone of New Zealand spoken and written English. Yeah right has extensive coverage in the NZ press and went global on Youtube as the Internet expanded.
