  • laid off is where you lose your job due to no fault of your own. fired is when you fucked up so you gotta go
  • in short... Fired - usually means you were not doing something right in the job. Layed off - usually means there is not enough work. OF COURSE - there are exceptions...
  • It looks much better on job applications to have lost your last position through a layoff than a firing.
  • usually layed off means work has slowed and they need to cut back. fired means you werent performing basically.
  • A layoff may just be a nice way of getting fired so you may collect unemployment. In these times though it may just be a lack of work.
  • People get fired or sacked because they are either incompetent at their work or have stolen from their employer.Ther employment is terminated period. Being laid off means either that the companies orders have temporarily dried up,or an outside supplier has failed to keep a steady supply of components for full production.The production lines have stopped,and the management has no alternative but to lay the workforce off.The company then lays off its workers until such a time they can resume full profitable production again.
  • When one is fired at work, it means that he or she screwed up at his own fault. A layoff is when the company must discontinue employees due to financial difficulties.
  • Layoff is generally in reference to being let go from a job due to lack of work or similar factor that is not any fault of yours. Fired is usually in reference to being let go due to poor job performance or similar factors that are under your control.
  • Fired is not doing something right and looks bad, layoff is the company doesn't have enough money to pay you or stuff for you to do that makes them enough money to pay you, potential employers aren't worried by this as it's beyond your control (this has been my experience anyway)
  • An unemployment check:)
  • Fired, your not getting your job back. Layoff, times are tough, collect unemployment, we will call you if we need you, or we can't afford you anymore, we won't be calling you after all.
  • Fired means you won't be coming back. your done. Layoff means that when things get better they will call you back most times. Unless they wanted to clean house. Then they won't call you back.
  • Layed off, your Pink slipped, the Firm could take you back, you can collect unemployment benefits. Fired, your Sh## canned, no benefits for you! (Not always true you can fight to get your bennies but it takes a hearing)
  • Fired is when you can't come back. Laid off is when you still have a chance.
  • being laid off aint your fault, being fired is
