Why is quitting a job called firing?
Why is quitting a job called "firing"? The word "firing" describes a job that has been dismissed, fired, or even dismissed, and we have to start from the old days to understand the meaning of this word.
In those days, there was no place for a fired person to complain, and as soon as he heard the boss's notice, he had to roll up his bed and leave.
So those who were dismissed were very sensitive and even fearful of the words "dismissal" and "fire", which they found too harsh, so some of them used the word "rolled up" to replace it. Because at that time, the employed people brought their own bedding, the boss would not provide it, and when they left, of course, they had to roll up their own bedding.
I don't know when it started, people suddenly realized from the "fried squid" dish, in the cooking of fried squid, each piece of fish from the flat shape, slowly rolled up to become a cylinder, which is similar to the shape of the rolled up bedding, and the process of rolling up is also very similar.
People have made an association with this, and used the term "fired squid" instead of "rolled up", which means being fired and dismissed.
This expression has been used to this day. But in today's society, it's not so easy for a boss to fire someone's squid, because the right to work is protected by law.
Nowadays, in addition to being dismissed from the meaning of "frying the fish", there are also individuals who do not want to work in the original unit and resign, then you will hear "I fired the boss squid!

These workers who left their hometowns and villages were able to carry a lightweight bag, or at most a quilt or a bamboo mat. At that time, the store, mostly in front of the store after living, that is, the front of the house is the business end of the store, the shopkeeper and the partner living in the store with the back of the room or attic. When an employee was fired by his boss, he had to pack up his belongings and leave, an action called "carrying baggage" or "firing". While the meaning of the word "baggage" can be understood by reading the words, "firing" depends on the imagination! It turns out that one Cantonese dish is "fried squid", i.e. fried squid slices. When the squid slices are cooked through, they will automatically be rolled up into a circle, just like the way a fired employee would roll up his own blanket (mat or quilt), so, apart from the word "baggage", being fired can also be called being fired. Therefore, in addition to the "baggage", the dismissal can also be called "squid".
