People lose their jobs every day. Sometimes, layoffs stem from economic factors. People may lose their job if their place of work closes or the company needs to cut costs due to declining sales. It’s also possible to lose your job for cause, which could involve failing to meet employer expectations. For example, failing to arrive at work on time may lead to disciplinary action and dismissal.
Employees may also lose their jobs for unjust reasons, such as racism or sexism. Employers may also terminate employees without cause to hire a friend or family member.
