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.
Here are 10 steps to take if youâve been laid off: 1  Remain professional to others. A layoff is not an excuse to finally give everyone a piece of your mind. 2  Stay positive to yourself. This also isnât time for negative self-talk. 3  Negotiate your package and end date. Severance packages are often negotiable.
