Fired - We want someone else to do the job you used to do. It does make a difference, speaking as someone who has been laid off before. In theory, you can't control being laid off, where as fired could have been avoided. Being laid off allowed me to leave on good terms, and kept the door open for a return. It also allows me to honestly talk about the job I was laid off from to potential employers without putting myself in a bad position. 13 hours ago, slick1ru2 said: My wife got laid off along with her department.

cophbulls Posted April 27, 2017 Group: TBP Subscriber III Topic Count: 417 Content Count: 3,175 Reputation: 382 Days Won: 12 Joined: 08/30/2004 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) I normally feel bad for folks being laid off. If you haven't been in their position you just haven't lived long enough but trust me it's a terrible feeling. Even though you know logically it was a business decision you can't help but take it personally especially as your friends and now ex-co-workers still have their job. So again, normally, I feel bad for these folks even if they were crappy employees and deserved it. Yet, in Brett's case, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of spiteful glee. A passing fantasy saw me driving through Burger King and seeing BM running the window (cause he certainly couldn't make it at Publix). Brett, when you threw us under the bus, I told my wife that the wheel will turn and holy cow karma is a b*tch and i fear, for you, this is only the beginning.

The company I work for now fired a person because he was just plain bad and completely inept. They gave him a month's severance A tech company I worked for laid off an entire division when they moved that unit to India, they did not give any severance. ...So no. Not much difference, except to the fired/laid-off person's ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The provision of severance has nothing to do with whether the termination of employment constituted a layoff or a firing. And the first example you gave, it sounds like he wasn't up to the task - that company did something they absolutely didn't have to do, probably out of pity. Please refer to the explanations above if you're still unclear on the difference between layoff and firing. Thank you.
