    Dismiss-Fire
    Message from shahrzad posted on 08-09-2011 at 13:41:18 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    I checked the dictionary and I saw “dismiss” and “fire” are synonyms but I have seen somewhere else that they are a little different and have some different results but I don’t remember the details, I’ll be honored if you tell me the difference.
    Thank you.

    Hello shahrzad,

    dismiss (dismissed, dismissing)
    to put someone out of one's employment.
    to send someone away; to allow them to leave.

    fire
    colloquial: to dismiss someone from employment, usually because of bad discipline • "You're fired!"

    Thus, let's say that DISMISS is more formal and polite, whereas FIRE is more direct and authoritarian.

    Hoping this has been of help,
    alep

    Hello Shahrzad,

    I don’t think that there is a difference between “to dismiss” and “to fire”. Both mean: to end the employment or service of someone. Perhaps “to fire” is a bit more colloquial.
    “To make somebody redundant” is different at least in. It is used when you are no longer needed, for example for economic reasons. Quite usual these days unfortunately.

    Best wishes

    Yes, according to
    Lien Internet

    and your help I understood that "fire" is more informal than dismiss.and is due to bad working or something offensive you've done.
    Thanks
