There is a big delta between being fired and being downsized; like core dumps. Some have backtraces, some don't.

  > There is a big delta between being fired and being downsized I think you originally meant to say "laid off" versus "downsized" as downsized isn't related to the individual employee but to the company has a whole. Still though except for some background check by a government job or unemployment benefits I see little difference between being fired and laid off. Sure there are some differences but I wouldn't call it a big delta at all.

    Furthermore, you can be fired and still collect unemployment. For an individual employee, there is little difference in actual outcome between the two.

      It also can be easier to find a new job if you're not looking for one at the same time as 14k other people as you.
