I know it's fun to say that McMurphy got "fired," but there's a big difference between getting laid off and getting fired.  

Unemployment benefits?  Aside from that... I mean not much of a difference.

Laid off = Your employer did not choose to retain your services.

Fired = Your employer did not choose to retain your services.

 

Seems the same to me.

That's the biggest tangible reason.  It means since you were let go due to no fault of your own, you are eligible for those benefits, as well as a rehire.

Not so much with "getting fired."

Sure, for the more simple-minded, that can certainly work.

Hard for me to feel bad for McMurphy given his trashing of USF in the past... as recent as this year actually... So when I read he got fired... I'm like...

Laid Off - The job you used to do it being eliminated. 

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.

My wife got laid off along with her department. She got 6 months full pay and insurance. Her brother just got fired. He got shown the door. Big difference.

Now that he's jobless is there any way we can arrange a McMurphy/Leavitt boxing match? I'd pay to see that over Canelo's next fight. 

Leavitt would slap the smirk off his face
