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
