All means the same thing as long as losing a job is concern. Some employers don't want to offend your sensibility so the figure of speech called euphemism is aplied. The more direct and offensive word among them is sack. |

Mbkite: Being fired or sacked are the worst. Being laid off is usually cos there is no work for you to do or your role has been scrapped or the company is trying to cut costs. The main thing is that in all cases you're out of the organisation as a result! |

Layoff and retrenchment are a function of restructuring while fire and sack are normally due to disciplinary issues. You can still get favourable references with the former but the later is bad for your career |

emmabest2000:permit me to say this Sack.= termination of apointment. So no benefit for exit.2. Layoff depends on the organisation = your staff union will negociate for pay off package if the condition of service permits. Generally it all depends on the organisations condition of service and staff union most time u get some benefits if layoff, but sacked or been fired no benefits or payment. 1 Like |

Sack is used in instances where an employee has commited serious offences against his employer. Layoff is used where the employer lacks the capacity, for any reason, to continue to shoulder the payments of wages & salaries hence have to shed this line of cost. Retrenchment is like sack. The offences involved here may be mild to moderate but not as serious as in sack. Fired. This is grammatically incorrect but in local parlance use to refer to sack because of the high intonation with which it is communicated. For avoidance of doubt the appropriate words to use in descending order of severity are; termination, dismissal and resignation.[color=#006600][/color] |

Retrenchment = this is when you are placed on probation for admiring ur boss wife or any Management's or director's females amies Layoff = this is when you insist or continues the above affair then you will be served the lay-off later on Friday with Little respect. Sack = this is when you try to out smart the management in work idea , navigating the female managers underworld and failling to amend their hearts. The context & suffix of the letter are similarly written "SACK" on the first paragraph. Fired = it sometimes involves the village people. this is served to you the moment you got back from the village on a vacation & on the reassumption date you will be given the letter by the security right there at the gate of the firm and you will be warned never to return . |

...Sack and fire are intertwine. They can be used interchangeably. Sack/ Fire is the total termination of a person's employment contract in an organization ....layoff and retrenchment is that layoff is volatile (Temporal) in nature, i.e. employees are recalled, once the period of layoff is over while retrenchment is non-volatile (permanent) i.e. that involves full and final termination of services. |

All roads leads to heaven my dear! My view sack might not have an entitlement and its equivalent to fire. While retrenchment and layoff could mean as a result of incapability of the firm but it will be coming with benefit. But all still remains , dey go your house as we no dey pay u again no work. |

All means same only that layoff is just a substitute to retrenchment The amount of persons involved might jst be the difference and also the organisation. School do sack or fire but mayb one, two person. Bank do all of the above but can layoff or retrench staff and like thousands might be involved. ALL NA ENGLISH JARE. |

Mbkite: Both 'sack' and 'fire' mean to dismiss somebody from a job as a result of their wrongdoings. The major difference between them lies in the variety of English: 'sack' is British English, while 'fire' is American English. 'Lay-off' means to end an employee's services as a result of redundancy. 'Retrenchment' means terminating the services of an employee with the aim of reducing cost. |

Slawormir:Uncle ur no.2 suppose be 3 and no.3 no.2 "Layoff" is like unemployment of a staff, mostly temporarily, probably due to a cease of activities in the company. "retrenchment" is like a company's way of cutting cost, so they select some old workers to send off. Sack and fire share similarities but I think; "sack" is termination of a staff's employment with a bit of respect i.e with a formal procedure (sack letter)... While "firing" a staff is disgraceful like taking his ID and walking him out effectively; More like when employer say "I'll kick you out"... Have u seen how tom kicks Jerry when he catches him in the "Tom and Jerry" cartoon series, more like that. Shameful termination. I've learned by teaching. U're welcome OP  |
