Is it possible that fired and sacked a e the same
The same way layoff and retrenchment are

Lol.

Sack, you might be allowed to collect the sack letter with well wishes written in it as well as your salary with or without a month's salary.

...for fire, as the name implies, it's very hot and you disappear from wherever you are when you received the call. The accompanying letter is better not read to avoid committing suicide.

Layoff/retrenchment, you have hope of being called back if things get back to normal.

My thoughts though,

I rather respond that the similarity between them is Loss of Job. Grammar lol

It all means
You are back to being unemployed

All are the same.

I think sacked and fired means the same thing. I.e being dismised without compensation due to incopetence or not being able to do ur job.
Layoff and retrenchment i think goes together and i believe they are diff from being sacked or fired.
In this case, i think workers get laid off or retrenched not because they are not doing their job but because the employer cannot continue to foot or afford their wages or salaries due to economic difficulties or constraints, but they get compensated for their dismisal.
Just my opinion.

Go is go all means you are out of job retrenched May get some benefits

.

We should ask Mourinho, he has the answer to the question.

Josnac:


Damnnnnn niggarrr.., you never disappoint.��

that's his signature statement on nairaland. Lol

XTROVAT:


That's the bottom line bro.

I think Sack=Fire and Lay-off=Retrenchment.

For sack/fire, a gross misconduct must have happened on the part of the one who was fired.

For Lay-off/retrenchment, mostly happens when there is the process of downsizing the labour force in an organization. Or letting loose the less productive arm of an organization.

If one is fired, I would be hard to get employment else where, the reason of his lack of employment comes up during an interview process. (Except the fellow wants to shy away from the truth)

While one being layed-off could get another job seamlessly.

#myOpinion

You are right. Though the difference comes mainly in the company's perspective. For the employer, is all loss of job or income with a name given to it.

Mbkite:

lol, no difference?

Does it really matter... At the end, it's just semantics... In all, they all mean someone's ass just got kicked out of a job.

Sack,fire, retrenchment and layoff to me are the same thing just that retrenchment and layoff are done in bulk and in larger numbers to being sacked or fired which might be one person or a few people.

Stood up letter nkor?

I dont know the one i'm on now. i just know i desperately need money to feed. anything helps pls.

The chain that binds the three expressions together throws employees into the labour market.They become jobless and near-,hopeless,with an overwhelming sense of depression. It's one of the worst fates to befall a man.

everything mean almost the same..ur service is no longer required either temporarily or permanently

Mbkite:
I need someone to give a good explanation to these words; Sack, lay-off, retrenchment & fired with their differences.

The words have raised lots of arguments in our office.

Thanks.

The explanation is that none of them is a good thing

Same fucking meaning in naija. We only use the word layoff, relieve when we wanted to be diplomatic in mischief.

...No matter what happens, life goes on. Period

As far as I'm concerned, they all mean the same in Nigeria....lol... Once any of these happens to you, biko pack your belongings dey go house.

sack is when you are relieved of your job because of an office misconduct or general misconduct.


And sacked or fired staffs don't get any benefits.

Retrenchment is when you are relieved of your job mostly because the organization is doing a general layoff of staff for some organization reasons or restructure or maybe because of economy recession, depression or low patronage.

Lay off comes with welfare packages to help the laid off staffs cope after their job loss.

Same as redundancy.


Sack = fired


Retrenchment = redundancy = layoff

Your job can be rendered redundant if your department or role is contributing less or nothing to the organization's growth and they consider the job role or department as a waste pipe and decide to render your role and position redundant for the time being.


For instance, many organizations in Nigeria will layoff their staffs as a result of economy recession that will come with post-covid-19 pandemic.

Those that will be affected will be laid off not because they committed any misconduct but due to general organization situation. Laid off staffs can be recalled.


Sacked or fired staff hardly gets recalled unless the staff was fired or sacked based on false allegations and organization later discovers and deems it fit to reinstate the staff to his or her previous position.

Lol.

My thoughts though,

There's really marginal difference amongst them.

Sack and fire means the same thing.

Layoff and retrench also means the same thing, closely.

However, the area of clear difference is where the question of legality comes in.

A company can sack or fire you for a misdemeanor on your part (might be the wrong word).

A company can layoff or retrench its workers on valid grounds of sustainable operations. For instance, it is ok to layoff or retrench a couple of workers, just to sustain operations.

Finally, layoffs and retrenchment comes with benefits, and where absent, can be contested. This is as opposed to when one is sacked or fired.

Yeah.

stevmatt15:


Bro one can get sacked or fired without misconduct oooo

No, one can't. You have the right to sue if you get sacked/fired without misconduct

There isn't any difference I can see apart from the spellings.

By whatever name you call it has one effect - Someone just lost his/job!

Sack mean not to continued as member staff of company anymore, gone for life. Fire mean to be warned and under maybe to sack. Lay- off mean,maybe there is some financial problems, where company can't longer pay,there give some staff lay-off to go home and rest till the financial problems solved or not called anymore. Why retrenchment mean to reduced some staff after the company could not meet daily profit.
