The
difference between being ‘fired’, being ‘made redundant’, and ‘tendering
your resignation’?
'Being fired' (or 'sacked') indicates a hostile termination of the employment relationship, due, for
example, to poor
performance/a breach of contract by the employee.
'Being made redundant', (or 'be/get
laid off') means that the
employee has lost their job but may not be due to any fault of theirs. (The company may be downsizing, has introduced
new technology, restructuring etc.). The termination of the employment
relationship is 'amicable' and the employee is usually entitled to various
benefits.
‘Tendering
your resignation’, is a formal way of telling your boss that you
will be leaving your job to pursue a new opportunity. It means that
you are the one who decided to end the relationship with your employer.
