Your comment reminded me of the phrase 炒鱿鱼, which means to fire someone. I googled it to find a good explanation. This page[0] says the meaning is from:
to fry a squid --> fried squids curl up --> to roll up the bedclothes and leave --> to be fired
And of course, it can be used passively with 被: 我被炒鱿鱼了
