to sound out - in the terms of saying a word? in which you try to combine the syllables to create a word, in which most cases you haven't said before?
performance review - im sure this is pretty obvious at a job you are evaluated for your performance and given a score depending on the system they have set up and have potential benefits if you do well, and if you do poorly you could potentially get fired
A severance package is pay and benefits an employee receives when they leave employment at a company. In addition to the employee's remaining regular pay, it may include some of the following:
* An additional payment based on months of service
* Payment for unused vacation time or sick leave.
* A payment in lieu of a required notice period.
* Medical, dental or life insurance
* Retirement (e.g., 401K) benefits
* Stock options
* Assistance in searching for new work, such as access to employment services or help in producing a résumé.
to outnumber - as in the simplest terms? how about Et players to QW players
to be cast in the same mould - it's a saying, like "charlie is to be cast in the same mould as his father" means that it's very similar or alike
Lean manufacturing or lean production, which is often known simply as "Lean", is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. In a more basic term, More value with less work. Lean manufacturing is a generic process management philosophy derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS) (hence the term Toyotism is also prevalent) and identified as "Lean" only in the 1990s[1]. It is renowned for its focus on reduction of the original Toyota seven wastes in order to improve overall customer value, but there are varying perspectives on how this is best achieved. The steady growth of Toyota, from a small company to the world's largest automaker,[2] has focused attention on how it has achieved this.
Clicks and mortar (sometimes seen as clicks-and-mortar) is a term describing traditional old economy companies that are taking advantage of the Internet and the new economy it has introduced. The term derives from bricks and mortar, used in the context of the Web to describe traditional companies with physical (rather than Web site) locations. In the news media, the success of Internet companies like Amazon.com, the online bookstore, led to a comparison with traditional bricks and mortar businesses such as Barnes and Noble (which at some point added a competitive Web site and became an example of clicks and mortar.)
