Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The practice of moving a more senior employee to a job in a different unit and displacing an employee with less seniority is called bumping. This implies that the employer is following a practice of seniority-based promotional opportunities, where the senior employees have more rights to job security and job opportunities compared to the less senior employees. Other options like attrition, job redesign, and rightsizing do not necessarily involve the practice of seniority-based employee movements.
