The difference between resigned and fired doesn't seem that meaningful to me.
I don't see how one can say this. There's a huge, intrinsic difference between the two.
Is there an agreed on definition of the terms?
When you set the date - it's a resignation. When they set the date - it's a termination.
When a company says it was the former when it was really the latter (and pretty much obviously so) - they're playing with your head.
- ALittleLight 6y agoMy colloquial understanding is that resign is when you end it and fired is when they do. In this situation it seems half and half, which may be why the difference between the terms doesn't matter to much to me. Using your definition, yes, it seems clear this was a firing, but again, so what? Does a disagreement on terms really necessitate the drama (news articles, petition, protests)? If she was being denied money somehow because of the distinction then I could see it being a legal case, but I haven't heard anything like that. Google said she resigned, she said she didn't, okay. If anything, saying she resigned sounds a bit nicer to me than saying she was fired. Probably best if Google had not commented on it at all.
