job termination
End of employment
Job termination is the ending of employment, whether initiated by employer or employee.
The phrase is formal and euphemistic—corporate and legal contexts prefer it to blunter alternatives like firing or quitting.
The company handled his job termination quietly.
Termination often implies the employer ended the relationship, while resignation emphasizes the employee's choice.
