Italian term or phrase: dégagé
I have a breakdown of staff in an organization by department (prof, admin, temporary etc) and then 'pensionati/dégagés' (no further context available, unfortunately). In an HR context, is this likely to mean people fired? freelancers? other? I have never come across the term before. Many thanks

Scusa "libero" intendevo. Quindi "unimployed" "unoccupied" credo, come già suggerito. Scusa il pasticcio causato dal tuo scambio di lingue. Intendevi francese-inglse, immagino.:)

Asker: Thanks for your input. Yeah, I do speak French but I did mean Italian-English because I am translating an Italian text and the Italian writer used this term (though I suspect it to be UE-speak!). Think of the difference between asking for help on 'sono andato al night' on the Italian forum and asking for 'I went to the night' on the English one. Or the difference between the meaning of 'bimbo' in Italian and in English.....

Explanation:
I'd definitely leave it as "dégagé": you aren't supposed to translate French and Latin clichès ... appunto – clichès! :)

The dudes ho are no longer or have never been on the payroll – not even as contrattisti, etc. Like, say, a guy who every now and then finds you a client/a deal and gets his finder's fee for that. Or the guys who are no longer with the company but do occasionally help out and/or consult

Asker: It could be an idea to leave it - but please, what is it likely to MEAN in this context? How can we call it a cliché if the meaning is not clear?
