There is definitely a difference to discuss, but simplified it still states "Unless you change your behavior, you need to go", as suck, I don't feel that "fired" is inaccurate.
- mort96 2y agoThis feels reductive. He was asked to choose between two jobs, and told that he couldn't have both. He chose one of them. Describing that as being "fired" is whack. "He was fired for choosing to work somewhere else instead of here", really?
- yurishimo 2y agoIn layman's terms, we call that "quitting"!
- jfoster 2y agoI would call it an ultimatum. Quitting: You decide that it's time to go. Firing: Your boss decides that it's time for you to go. Ultimatum: Choose between these options, or it's time for you to go. The only part that might not be right is the tone. I think "ultimatum" sounds a bit adversarial, whereas PG is describing something more cooperative in nature.
- addicted 2y agoYou’re not “fired” if you were given an option to continue in the job.

- falcor84 2y agoHow so? If my boss tells me that I have to stop my out-of-work political activism or he he'll fire me, what would you call that?
