What does it mean to "be fired" in the work environment?

1. Być na zwolnieniu lekarskim

2. Być bez pracy

3. Zostać wyrzuconym z pracy

4. Nadawać się do czegoś

The correct answer is: Zostać wyrzuconym z pracy

To "be fired" in the work environment means to be terminated from one's job by the employer. This typically occurs when an employee is no longer deemed suitable for their role due to various reasons such as poor performance, behavior issues, or company restructuring. The choice indicating "zostać wyrzuconym z pracy" directly translates to "to be thrown out of work," which is an accurate representation of the term "fired." It conveys the idea of an involuntary separation from employment. The other options do not capture this meaning; for example, being on sick leave signifies a temporary absence from work due to health reasons, being without a job implies being unemployed but not necessarily due to termination, and being suitable for something pertains to qualifications or abilities related to a role, which does not reflect the concept of being fired.
