unsacked
Not yet fired
Unsacked describes someone who has not been fired or dismissed from a position, particularly in British English where "sack" is the common term for termination.
It appears most often in sports journalism when a manager or coach survives calls for their removal: The unsacked manager faces mounting pressure after another defeat.
The word can also describe something that hasn't been plundered or looted, though this sense is rare outside historical contexts.
