Why? Are they in danger of being fired for it?
- eterm 14y agoThere's a difference between being fired and being made redundant usually. (Although perhaps US terminology is different, in the UK usually "fired" refers to dismissal, redundancy is a different process with more compensation and a process employers must follow.)
- eli 14y agoThe equivalent phrase here would probably be "laid off" but the definitions are a little fuzzy. People say "laid off" as a polite euphemism for fired and people use "fired" when they're upset about about being laud off.
- anigbrowl 14y agoWould you want to hire someone that live tweets everything that goes on at your firm? Most companies would rather not risk being held hostage (so to speak) by their employees if the management decides it needs to shut down a department or stop offering a product.
