  I think from the perspective of the employee’s reputation, it’s an important distinction, due to the “with cause” vs. “without cause” implication.

  When I hear “laid off” I think the person was probably a fine employee who they just couldn’t keep around because higher-ups wanted more money. But when I hear “fired” I think “well did they take a shit on their boss’s desk or something?”

    A small indy company like blizzard bungie can’t possibly afford to keep such a great composer on for long.

    They laid off Michael sechrist too and that guy wrote deepstone lullaby. But hey, if bungie wants the soundtrack on the new destiny expansion to suck, more power to them.

  Laid Off = Employee did nothing wrong

  Fired = Employee did something wrong (according to the company)

  There’s a legal difference. Never say you were fired if you can avoid it.
