Firing does not mean sending people to jail because they did a bad job.
Normally an employer can only fire you. But when your employer is also a dictator, you can indeed end up in jail for bad performance.
So no, firing is not really a proper term.
- naoqj 5y agoBut are these people going to jail?
- faller 5y ago> But are these people going to jail? The first paragraph of the news piece states that "the head of the department responsible for Ukraine was sent to prison." Here's the second paragraph: > In a sign of President Putin’s fury over the failures of the invasion, about 150 Federal Security Bureau (FSB) officers have been dismissed, including some who have been arrested. I couldn't read more paragraphs as the article seems paywalled.

- koonsolo 5y agoYes, arrested, not fired
- boomboomsubban 5y agoSo two "purged," 148 fired.
