attrition.
early retirment.
firing.
hiring freeze.
layoff.

Answer 1

The approach most likely to be saved as a last resort is firing. Businesses try not to fire waves of people unless they are in deep financial trouble because they do not want to put a lot of people out of work and it draws in bad publicity.
