For anyone else that stumbled over that for a second - "fired" is of course synonymous with "discharged". English is a weird language!
- pluijzer 3y agoI translated this literally from Dutch. I searched for it and I think it is just incorrect. Maybe English is not that weird anyway.
- toast0 3y agoYou could be discharged from a job which is formalism for being fired, so I can see how a literal translation could lead you there.
- batshibstein 3y agoMore direct correlation of discharge in the sense of a weapon or firearm. "Discharged a gun", "Fired a gun"
