That distinction means jack shit to the people that are "made redundant" and everything to the people that have an interest in marketing this as anything other than someone losing their job.

It does. Because being made redundant means you get a pay package when you lose your job. If you get fired, you get nothing.

The article states the layoffs will affect the UK division and EU division, I am assuming you are basing your statement on US laws. https://www.gov.uk/redundancy-your-rights/notice-periods states that you will get paid for X number of weeks depending on how long you have been in your job.
