pushout
Involuntary exit maneuver
A pushout is someone forced out of a position, organization, or situation—often an employee pressured to resign rather than fired outright: The company called it a retirement, but everyone knew she was a pushout.
The term emphasizes that the departure wasn't voluntary, even if it appeared so officially.
In mathematics, pushout has a technical meaning in category theory describing a particular type of construction.
