Being laid off is terrible. Getting fired is like a divorce -- it usually comes at the end of a long or intensely bad experience.

Is that based on the idea fired means for cause and laid off means not? Many people and jurisdictions say fired includes both.

The end of an intensely bad experience can be the beginning of another.
