Well, it would be better to either not say anything, or ask some kind of question that brings the conversation forward. I really don't want to guess what you don't understand. E.g., I hope you mean what "getting fired" means. But maybe you don't know that getting fired often results in receiving a severance package when the employee sues? But that is common practice as well. So really, from where should I pick you up?
