Being Laid Off is just a nice way of saying Your Fired. 

When you apply for Unemployment if you say you are Laid off you won't be denied.  If you state you were terminated you likely won't be approved.

Are you serious????

Do you seriously think that this would be appropriate? 

They were given a generous severance and sent packing. They CANNOT talk about the conditions of the agreement or about what happened.

@Reilley 

AGAIN???!?!?!?!?!?

They and about 398 others were LAID OFF!!!!

How do I know??? 

I made it up....(JOKE!!!)

See here:

From Qurate's ( QVC) "Earnings Call TRANSCRIPT to INVESTORS"

3-3-2023:

And I QUOTE:  From THIER RELEASE:

"We are undertaking an organizational cost reduction and yesterday announced layoffs at QVC U.S. and HSN as well as in certain global functions. While we recognize headcount reductions are hard decisions, we know rebalancing our workforce is right for our business going forward. We're eliminating over 400 positions primarily at QVC U.S. and HSN or about 12% of corporate headcount."

Word number 11.

LAYOFFS. 

Sheeeesh. This has been IN THE NEWS since March 3, 2023. IN PUBLIC.

NO need for C or D to "Clarify" whether they'd been "fired" or not.

And why on EARTH would ANYONE blab on FB about their termination, thier former employer who severed them, or anything else that personal?

Again.....SHEEESH....

Read it yourself...here's the link, If it doesn't work, copy this to your browser and look under YahooFinance.

Qurate Retail, Inc. (NASDAQ:QRTEA) Q4 2022 Earnings Call Transcript.

QURATE is the name of the company that owns QVC/HSN and others.

SHEEEEESH!!!!!

Now  get ready....another 700 posts about C+D being "fired" by end of coming weekend.

@Reilley 

You happened to provide a really funny laugh for me today, (on a somewhat, otherwise bummer day).

I had reduced my Firefox windows, which truncated the title of this thread, &  broke off the title to then read:

"Difference between being xxxx

    off vs fired"

Whoa!!   heh
