Plagiarism is the wrongful appropriation and stealing and publication of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics.
Being discharged from a job is not the same as being laid off, although one can morph into another, depending on the circumstances. In either case, there are laws that may provide financial help while youâre off work, and offer you protection if your employer acted negligently in releasing you from employment.
Such tactics may amount to constructive dismissal, which is illegal in some jurisdictions. Layoffs and furloughs. Finally, termination of employment can happen as a result of layoffs, also known as downsizing, reduction in force, or redundancy, which are not firings. A laid-off employee's job is terminated and not re-filled, because the company wishes to reduce its size or operations, not for performance-related reasons. In rare cases, laid-off employees are re-hired by their respective companies, though by this time they have usually found new jobs.
