tip
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre estar fired y estar laid off?
  • Fire y lay off son dos verbos que indican la terminación de un empleo por parte del empleador. Se consideran sinónimos pero se usan en contextos diferentes, especialmente en lenguaje formal.
    Un empleador lays off a un empleado si la compañía tiene dificultades financieras o cuando tiene cambios estructurales.
    Un empleador fires a un empleado cuando el empleado hace su tarea de manera insatisfactoria, en caso de mala conducta o si el empleado viola su contrato de empleo.
    Un empleado que fue laid off generalmente recibe ciertos beneficios según la ley, al contrario de un empleado que fue fired. Por lo tanto es importante usar el término correcto en documentos oficiales.
