Right-size(d)
To adjust headcount or costs, usually downward, to match the actual scale of the business; a common euphemism for cuts.
Right-size(d) in practice
Hypothetical: a deck recommends right-sizing an administrative team after duties are consolidated. Before presenting it to employees, management specifies the proposed staffing changes, affected jobs, and timing in plain language.

I think more people do cost reductions, but cost reductions are hard. Cost reductions are fundamentally a euphemism for letting a lot of people go.
