- edanm 11y agoWell, it can, but there are several people here, as well as several Google results, which say that "fired" carries a much more negative connotation.
- Stratoscope 11y agoI suppose it can mean that, but in practice, it doesn't. Being fired and being laid off are very different things in this year's English. So different, in fact, that I have been "laid off" when the employer really had a mind to fire me for poor performance but wanted to avoid hurting my future prospects. Here, don't take my word for it: https://www.google.com/search?q=fired+laid+off https://www.google.com/search?q=fired+laid+off
